Art Writ Large

In another place, an earlier incarnation, I wrote a lot about North Korea.  It is a fascinating place (so long as you don’t actually have to be there).  Now they have produced art on a scale unimaginable today in the west.

This glorious piece created to celebrate what would have been the Great Leader’s 97th birthday (except that inconvenience called death got in the way) is stupendous in scale and concept.  It is time we stopped sabre-rattling and started to appreciate the vision of the Korean artist!
