North Korea: Art and nature · Global Voices
John Kennedy

“Unlike a lot of North Korean ‘Juche Art’ which tends to give kitsch a bad name, writes the Kotaji blogger of the same name in ‘Art and nature in North Korea.’ “I actually think some of the book covers from the 50s and 60s are rather nice and accomplished pieces of work. It also interests me that they often depict nature or reflect nostalgically on the themes of ‘hometown’ and rural life.”
