The DPRK’s “Lady Liberty”
Kwang On-yoo sent me an email about Noonbit Publishing’s reprinting of Chris Marker’s book, Coréennes (1959). I just ordered a copy here (it appears to be unavailable on Amazon).
The book contains over 120 black-and-white photos of North Korea with illustrations from maps, comic books, street posters and paintings. Among the photos is what appears to be a North Korean copy of the French panting Liberty Leading the People (La Liberté guidant le peuple) by Eugène Delacroix.
Judge for yourself:
I will post a larger version of the image and provide additional information when the book arrives in the mail.
I previously discovered that the DPRK copied a Russian painting as well. See here.
