Description: After the enormous success of "Flowers for Kim Il Sung," the collection with 304 pages and 50 figures offers a unique view of the North Korean art scene, as well as insights into the ways of working and environmental conditions in which art at the interface of the specifics of the local political system is created . As fascinating as a science-based view of an otherwise closed country. Editor: Rüdiger Frank, Professor of East Asian Economy and Society at the University of Vienna. Publisher's note.

Exploring North Korean Arts offers the most ambitious appraisal of the arts in North Korea, from fine art, music and literature to aspects of design such as stamp design and book illustration. Thoroughly researched and handsomely designed, this volume opens up a little-known world of creativity, and addresses head-on the politically compromised circumstances of the arts under military rule.
