It features at least eight paintings of Kim in a slimmed-down, flattering light — the first-ever portraits officially approved by the despotic leader himself, according to the outlet.
The exhibit purportedly showcases, “the great personality of Kim Jong Un” in honor of the 70th anniversary of the “victory in the Fatherland Liberation War,” according to the state-run Korean Central News agency. The art shows Kim has, “achieved one victory after another in the confrontations with imperialism and the US that have lasted centuries,” the agency said — adding the pieces were commissioned to depict his “cult of personality.”KCNA
