Sang-ik (1917-1997) Born in 1917 near Hamhŭng in northern Korea, Han studied at the Imperial Art Academy in Tokyo and after the Korean War became professor at the P'yŏngyang University of Fine Arts. Han's works have appeared in North Korean magazines since the late 1950s. He was honored with the highest awards (such as "People's Artist") by the Kim regime, and together with Ch'oe Ch'ang-sŏng held a two-man exhibition in 1995 in P'yŏngyang's International Culture Center. Seascapes, beach and harbor scenes were his favored subject matters. |
