Dr. Seuss illustrations now as prints,
“Secret Art,” taxidermy and sculptures
|
|
Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) was the definitive teacher of the Twentieth Century.
His words and visual messages are so subtle that few readers even know they are
messages – about ecology, prejudice, giving, and loving. The influence of Dr.
Seuss’ artwork transcends several generations. Parents of the Forties, their
children, grandchildren, and now even their great-grandchildren have known and loved
the stories and especially the exceptional artwork through which Dr. Seuss made
his points indelibly clear.
Seuss’ popularity comes from the 48 books for children he wrote and illustrated.
From “The Cat In The Hat,” “How The Grinch Stole Christmas,”
to “Yertle The Turtle” he demonstrated his artistic talent in pen and
ink drawings that were colored by the book printers. During his “spare”
time, he created works of art for personal and family enjoyment. This “Secret
Art” shows an equally zany spirit, but one much more experimental. In the 1930s
Seuss crafted three-dimensional taxidermy sculptures. Unorthodox in every way, these
charming characters look like a whimsical rogue’s gallery.

Now Seuss fans can own quality reproductions of his creations. Fully authenticated,
hand-pulled graphics on paper of Dr. Seuss book illustrations and exacting reproductions
of his “Secret Art” are available as are replicas of his unorthodox taxidermy.
Each type of art is produced in extremely limited quantities to assure a high-quality
that can be used as the center piece for decorating a child’s room, den, or
family room. As an authorized Seuss dealer, the Art-cade can special order any artwork
that is still available at the publisher.
