Starting a blog Hi. I start my blog with an article titled [Han Sang-Ik, An authentic painter of North Korea]. I intend to share my favorite paintings of Han Sang-ik(1917~1997) with many people. Especially, I would like to introduce his paintings and activities which would have been created through the agnony between art and regime as a North Korean artist, even though this introduction may be limited. The first reason why it may be 'limited' is because I am South Korean. There is only a limited access to references available on the internet, and I can't even go to North Korea for research because of the reality of a divided country. Secondly, I am just an art lover collecting paintings of Han Sang-ik, but I have no knowledge of art. It is frustrating to have no previous knowledge and reference to be found due to the special nature of the division of country, but it can be rather fun to contentrate on the interaction, imagination and appreciation of the painting...
