DR. SEUSS THE CAT BEHIND THE HAT Collector's Edition
By Caroline M. Smith.
Recommended
The Art of Dr. Seuss.
This exquisitely produced collector’s edition includes four exclusive lithographs along with a cloth-covered edition of The Cat Behind the Hat, a beautifully illustrated book that redefines Dr. Seuss as an iconic American artist. Quite large and oversized, this limited edition (number is undetermined as yet but only 400 copies remain available). It weighs in at just under TEN POUNDS! This comprehensive look at the breadth of art that Theodor Geisel created over his lifetime is an eye-opening peek behind the public persona into the real story of the man who was Dr. Seuss.

This volume exuberantly juxtaposes Geisel’s "Midnight Paintings" with his best-loved children’s books because this was how Dr. Seuss constructed his creative life - his days devoted to literature for children, his nights to letting his mind and palette wander to even stranger shores. Inevitably, Geisel created images in his private artworks that would find their way into his literary projects. Though he fiercely protected his "Secret Art" from criticism during his lifetime, his intention all along was for these works to be seen when he was gone.

It is downright absurd to make an art book on Dr. Seuss that attempts a straight chronology on the life and work of this multitalented author, illustrator, painter, sculptor, political cartoonist, adman, doodler, practical joker, and Cat Behind the Hat.

Therefore, this book is "chronological-ish." That is to say, some things come at the right time and some at the wrong time. But just as Dr. Seuss taught us to look at life "through the wrong end of a telescope," the iconic artwork packed into these pages helps us understand that it isn’t always a straight line from here to there that matters . . . but rather the fun of the journey that really counts.
