The illustrations of Dr. Seuss we know
but his “secret art” adds another glow
|
|
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. |
