Art Appreciation
An Estonian pioneer of modernisim, painter Konrad Mägi was known for his color-sensitive landscape works and motifs.

His travels to France, Norway, Germany, and Italy influenced his expressionism. He was known for incorporating bold colors into his landscapes, different from his contemporaries at the time.
