Kim Jong Un Visits Mansudae Art Studio
Pyongyang, May 13 (KCNA) -- Marshal Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, visited the Mansudae Art Studio to guide the creation of the works portraying President Kim Il Sung to be displayed in the Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum.

He looked round the works.

He noted that creators have truthfully portrayed the personality of the President as an invincible and iron-willed commander, a peerless strategist and tender-hearted father of the service personnel and the people, adding he felt as if he were watching his photos.

He watched again and again such works portraying the President in the period of the Fatherland Liberation War as "The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung planning an operation", "The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung teaching a new combat method" and "The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung laying down a policy of using tanks to commanding officers of the KPA." He praised the creators for having successfully dealt with the principle of historicism and the phases of those times.

He said that watching photos of the President and the works depicting him in the war period to be displayed in the museum would help the visitors keenly realize how a great victory was won in the war and where was the source of the indomitable mental strength displayed by the service personnel and the people of the DPRK.

Noting that what is essential in creating art works depicting the President is to truthfully portray him cherished in their minds, he told the creators to consider this principle as a rule in creating such works.

He specified the orientation and ways which would serve as guidelines for creating such works and further developing the Juche-based fine art.

He was accompanied by Choe Hwi, first vice department director of the C.C., the WPK, and Kim Ui Sun, vice department director of the C.C., the WPK.
