Painting has a long history in Korea: the earliest samples, realized with a well developed technique which implies a older tradition, date back to around 100 b.C. Though Korean painting has been strongly influenced by Chinese painting, in the course of centuries the two have often followed different paths and, in particular, their most prolific or best periods often do not coincide. This has led to Korean painting having its own distinctive, somewhat bolder and more direct, features.
The genre “Korean Painting” as intended here refers to ink paintings on paper. It is still the most popular genre in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea: in the Mansudae Art Studio there are far more artists who practise it than any other. In fact, for the first years it was practically the only technique utilised and the subjects were almost only political and social. Since the 1970’s landscapes and nature in general became popular subjects too. However this technique is still the one used for the most important social or political works, especially for the largest size ones.
The works are arranged in alphabetical order by the title. By clicking on a letter of the alphabet in the second row of this window, all works with the title beginning with that letter are shown.
