Oil on canvas 36 x 24 in framed, art 35 x 23 in, manner of Lee Jung Seob (April 10, 1916-September 6, 1956 in Seoul) was a Korean artist, most known for his oil paintings such as "White Ox". Born and raised during Korea under Japanese rule, Lee was greatly inspired by his high school art teacher Lim Yong Ryeon. He entered Teikoku Art School for Occidental Painting in Japan in 1932 and studied Art in earnest. He abruptly quit and entered Bunka Gakuen , which was more fascinated with the avant-garde than Teikoku. At Bunka Gakuen, Lee showed Fauvist tendencies and a strong, free-like drawing style. He met a woman named Yamamoto Masako­, Korean name Lee Nam-deok, who would later become his wife.Lee graduated from Bunka Gakuen in 1944 during the last stage of World War II, and married Masako the following year. In 1946, their first child was born but suddenly died from diphtheria. At that time, he was preparing an exhibition and making artwork as an unknown artist. The sudden death of his child greatly affected him. He sent his painting "A Child Flies with a White Star", which was inspired by his loss, to the exhibition commemorating the independence of Korea in 1947.
