Provenance: Formerly from the collection of Michaan’s Auctions (Alameda, CA).
This is a rare, authentic state-issued propaganda poster. Published for the New Year of Juche 95 (2006), the artwork exemplifies the "Socialist Realism" style mandated by the state.
The composition features a powerful triptych of society: the Soldier, the Industrial Worker, and the Intellectual (holding a book and radio). They stand united against a backdrop of industrial progress, symbolizing the "Kangsong Taeguk" (Great and Prosperous Nation) ideology.
Unlike the common digital reproductions found on mass-market sites, this is an original period printing on the traditional heavy composition paper used by the government for official distribution. A significant historical artifact of early 21st-century geopolitics and state-sponsored graphic design.
Origin: Korea
Date: 2006 (Juche 95)
Medium: Offset lithograph on heavy composition paper
Subject: Military and Civilian Unity / New Year Celebration

The paper is a robust, machine-finished stock typical of 2006 (Juche 95) Pyongyang state-issued prints. It possesses a smooth, semi-matte finish that has preserved the vibrancy of the pigments remarkably well. No signs of the brittleness or translucency associated with lower-grade papers. The structural integrity is strong, with crisp edges and no historical repairs. less
