| Beskrivelse: | Posters are an important form of visual communication in North Korea. They are carefully designed and overseen by the government, which ensures that they convey a message through imagery, color, symbolism, and words, aligning with government policies and serving as a means of reaching the masses. In this sense, posters are linked to the Juche ideology, which is why they are meticulously designed at the Mansudae Art Studio and offer an educational and visual tool for the people. This article explores the value of North Korean posters after the end of World War II, as well as the emergence of the Juche ideology, which exalts the personality cult of the Great Leader Kim Il-sung, associated with these posters. It also delves into the importance of the poster’s educational component and its visual characteristics; as well as taking up the characteristics that Jeffrey Schnapp provided about the poster and which for this work are articulated with the North Korean propaganda poster, which in turn are associated with the digital collection of North Korean posters from the private collection of Willem van der Bijl, which is owned by the University of Leiden, in the Netherlands. |
