4 Galleries x North Korean Socialist Realist Art

N_korea_gallery_1

Some images from the Communist North of the Korean peninsula. These art/design works have been created in an approach best described as Socialist Realist. This differs to the somewhat similar school of Social Realism.

In 20 words or less: Socialist Realism endeavours to further the goals of communism and socialism by glorifying the efforts of the working class, whilst Social Realism chronicles the struggle of the working class and the poor. As you will see, North Korean Socialist Realism also displays a particular fondness for tractors.
