THANK YOU... for visiting the Propaganda Picture Gallery and making it so popular.  Please take time to visit the DPRK Studies Blog for up to date commentary on North Korea. If you have any images that would fit in here, or know of sites that post such images, please let me know.






DPRK Propaganda Picture Gallery

The pictures in this gallery are taken from two North Korean propaganda books purchased in China near the China-North Korean border in the late 1990s.

These images have been selected to demonstrate the major themes in the art of North Korea encountered by everyday people, including architecture, billboards and monuments, posters, and other art dedicated to the personality cults of the late Kim Il Sung and his son, Kim Jong Il, the current leader of North Korea. 

The four posters at the bottom of the page are typical of North Korean propaganda art. If you appreciate these images, also visit the North Korea Art website, and the Pyongyang Art Studio.
