This book has been written for the reading public at large. In addition to Mägi’s life and creative work, it also provides insights into Estonia’s cultural life at the outset of the 20th century. It also contains observations on the fate of Konrad Mägi’s works over the course of the past century, when attempts have been made to prohibit them or, at the opposite end of the scale, to canonise them. The author of the book is Eero Epner, its designer is Tiit Jürna, and its publisher is Enn Kunila. The book has been translated into English by Peeter Tammisto. The book is illustrated with numerous biographical photographs from Konrad Mägi’s life and with dozens of reproductions of his paintings.
