Jane Portal: Art under control in North Korea

(Reaction Books / British Museum Press, 2005)

An interesting, easy to read book cataloguing the different art forms in North Korea. Some of the works, particularly poster art, are on display in the Korean room in the British Museum. The book carefully avoids making judgements about the quality of the work.
