Korean Central News Agency of DPRK
Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- An art show of the Mansudae Art Studio which opened at the Kimilsungia-Kimjongilia Exhibition in Pyongyang on November 17 is going on till the end of this month.
On display there are more than 400 art pieces of eighteen kinds including Korean, oil and graphic paintings, sculpture and craft works.
Art works drawn by young artists are attracting the eyes of visitors.
Among them are such Korean paintings as "Kim Il Sung Being a Referee" showing him with children and "Paternal Love".
The acrylic "The Great Leader Comrade Kim Jong Il Commanding a Bird's-Eye View of Poman-ri, Beautiful Socialist Rural Village" and Korean painting "Electric Light of Paradise" portray Kim Jong Il, who is greatly satisfied with monumental edifices built under the Songun-based politics.
Seen in the show is the Korean painting "Strong Roots" which is drawn by single-stroke technique and delicate painting methods. It delicately depicts moss, grass and roots of trees, armful fallen tree and trees bearing revolutionary slogans written by anti-Japanese guerrillas. It implies that the revolutionary traditions of Juche, the historical roots of the Workers' Party of Korea, are the lifeline of the revolution to be carried forward by the generations to come.
The Korean paintings "Nursery in the Morning" and "At Korean Clothes Shop", too, were drawn by applying such painting methods as single stroke, minutely drawing, line drawing and thin coloring. The former shows scientists researching in good species of trees and the latter female sewers making Korean dresses.
The ceramic relief craftwork "Haricot" made of colorful shells is admired by visitors as vines and fruits of haricot look like real things.
Among the exhibits are paintings showing the eight scenic views in the Songun era and other landscape paintings, ceramic works and new kinds of industrial fine art designs.
