Into the book
What message did Lee Jung-seob want to convey through his cows? The cows, which appear to be struggling or crying, seem to reflect his own deeply unfortunate circumstances.
Or, as is often said, it seems to symbolize the fate that our unfortunate people have had to face over the past century.
Lee Jung-seop seemed to think that the plight of cows, who work themselves to death and are still food for humans after death, was very similar to the plight of Koreans who are oppressed by other nations.
--- p.12
Lee Jung-seob had already enjoyed painting cows around this time.
My friends would joke around saying things like, “Lee Jung-seob lives with a cow” or “I saw Lee Jung-seob kissing a cow.”
From this time on, his favorite paintings of cows were repeated throughout his life, displaying increasingly higher skill and different characteristics.
Around this time, there was another thing that Lee Jung-seob was absorbed in.
It was a work of applying ink to thick Korean paper and then scratching it with a pencil to reveal the background.
This was possible because of the teachings of teachers who studied in the United States and Europe.
In particular, Professor Im Yong-ryeon personally put into practice his educational philosophy that young people who will open up a new world should be taught practical knowledge that emphasizes individuality and an experimental spirit, preparing them for the changing world of the future rather than obsessing over past education, and this had a great influence on students.
--- p.27
Lee Jung-seob, who fell in love with the Japanese woman Yamamoto Masako, expressed his love by drawing pictures on government-issued postcards and sending them to Masako.
These postcards, which also have quite a few sender addresses, were published starting on December 25, 1940. Around 80 of them remain in the world from 1941, about 10 from 1942, and 2 from 1943.
There is not a single line of text on this postcard, only a picture.
The subject matter of the painting is diverse.
It includes a woman catching fish, a woman surrounded by animals, a man picking fruit or climbing a ladder, a man and a woman in love, a family with wild or flying beasts, animals such as deer, cranes, and ducks, and lotus flowers and fruit trees.
All these drawings were a secret love letter full of symbols and signs that only the two of them knew.

Publisher's Review
The 'Artists We Love' series
The life and achievements of our Korean yet world-class artist
This is an art book with stories and pictures.
Even though I like art, it is difficult to visit art galleries often to appreciate it.
Or, even when looking at a painting, we may not be able to appreciate it ourselves and instead think that the appreciation someone else gave us is our own.
This is because our art environment is not easy.
The 'Artists We Love' series is an art book that tells the stories and achievements of our world-renowned artists through stories and pictures.
We designed this exhibition to encourage our world-renowned artists to ask themselves and reflect on the environments in which they were able to create such wonderful works of art, how we should appreciate them, and what meaning they contain.
You can develop your artistic skills through books, just like strolling through an art gallery from your desk, and encounter the artistic world of the artists you love.
