This section will focus on the artist’s sentiment and memory on the legacy of Korean War. The ideologies instilled by both South and North Korea through state establishments will be demonstrated by analyzing the art community and art works produced in both states. The constructed victimhood image of the states will be mainly discussed. The artists’ struggle and grief originated from their constructed victim mentality are usually expressed in four significant motifs: the issues of division, foreign intervention, struggle to consolidate a national identity, and the struggle to extricate from the past.
