North Korean Jewel paintings
|
|
|
This is a typical North Korean technique. The painting is made with coloured stone powders on rigid panels. No other painting is more time-consuming to produce: in fact, it takes many weeks to finish one. In the past the technique was called "Powder Painting", but Kim Il Sung changed it to "Korean Jewel Painting" to point out that it was developed in Korea using precious Korean stones.
