In addition, this thesis also goes through his ties with the literary circles at that time by looking at the visitors’ book of his solo exhibition at Midopa Gallery in January 1955 and his illustration for a book.
The archives of Lee Jung Seob have great gaps in the aspects of the volume of reference materials, recorders and categories of the records when looked according to the years before and after his death. The reference materials of the year after his death are greatly more and the most of them are printings related to his exhibitions while the most of the reference materials of the year before his death are personal documents such as letters and postcards that his wife and friends kept. This is because his reference materials could not be kept well during his life time due to his frequent travel without a specific basement but after his death, the public’s interest in him activated the research on his works and as a result, the various events and exhibition relating to him produced a great amount of reference materials.
The other feature of the archives of Lee Jung Seob is that the boarder between his artworks and reference materials is vague. Therefore, the interpretation of the boarder between the artworks and reference materials may differ from the focus of a researcher.

His illustrations now work as the evidences showing the fruits of the special friendship with a poet Ku Sang and the relationship with the writers who moved to South Korea from North Korea. The opportunity of drawing illustrations for the cover of a book in those relationships offered Lee to make literary imagination and think about new images. Thus, his ties with the literary circles is significant in this research in terms of how it extended Lee Jung Seob’s practice.
