Never-before-seen North Korea – a rare glimpse into the country behind the politics and the creativity behind the propaganda
This incredible collection of prints dating from the 1950s to the twenty-first century is the only one of its kind in or outside North Korea. Depicting the everyday lives of the country’s train conductors, steelworkers, weavers, farmers, scientists, and fishermen, these unique lino-cut and woodblock prints are a fascinating way to explore the culture of this still virtually unknown country. Together, they are an unparalleled testament to the talent of North Korea’s artists and the unique social, cultural, and political conditions in which they work.

This is a fascinating book about a country that few can visit and even fewer understand. The selection of art is fascinating, as are the interpretation and explanation text in this book.

This is a great book, a lot of information to go alongside some beautifully printed art that can’t be found anywhere else. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject.
However, the title is very misleading, despite my hopes that this was printed in North Korea and approved by Kim Jong Un personally, the book was actually printed in China, so major disappointment I can’t look past there.
