Over 60 works by Estonia’s modernist master Konrad Mägi are on view in London for his first major U.K. exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery, opening Tuesday.

Curated by Kathleen Soriano, the show traces Konrad Mägi’s short but brilliant career — from the radiant Norwegian landscapes that first earned him acclaim to striking portraits and late Estonian landscapes, showcasing his bold color, expressive brushwork, and a style shaped by Cubism and German Expressionism yet entirely his own.

The landmark exhibition brings together dozens of Mägi’s most captivating works for the first time in the U.K., sourced from the Art Museum of Estonia, Tartu Art Museum, National Archives of Estonia, Viljandi Museum and even private collections.

“Mägi’s mastery of color transports us to a place of vibrancy and emotional depth,” said Dulwich Picture Gallery director Jennifer Scott.

“It is an honor to have these paintings on special loan from Estonia and to introduce U.K. audiences to Mägi’s unique and captivating vision,” she added.
