북한미술 연구 동향과 과제

Abstract

The article focuses on the subject and the subject of the study on how the study of North Korean art. For about 20 years, various researchers considered North Korean art history. However, while discussing the same subject as “study of North Korean art,” there were some differences in perspectives and methods depending on the timing of the research. It also means that North Korean art, or North Korean art research, can be studied in various ways from various perspectives. The article, which looked at the research trends of each administration's North Korea policy, dealt with them in general until the 2000s. Moon Jae-in, in particular since the 2010 instead focus on the administration that North Korea has any change in the study and performance art. The 2018 meeting between the two leaders of South and North Korea has raised expectations for the establishment of a peace regime, as well as interest in North Korean art. As a result, individual researchers as well as research institutes and government-affiliated institutes attached to Hagyeondeung University were encouraged to do their research. As a result, various research genres such as posters, embroidery, and sculptures have become more diverse than the subjects that were focused on Joseonhwa or art policies. There has also been a significant increase in the activity of new researchers. However, there are as many tasks to be solved as there are more active studies. The term “North Korean art,” which has been used without much consideration, the basis of North Korean art, and the scope of research should be reviewed from scratch. In addition, they will have to discuss in-depth how to feel the authenticity of the work, the biggest difficulty in studying North Korean art. We hope that this will lead researchers to contemplate these tasks together and further boost their research on North Korean art in the future.
