Interpretation To Books The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss
These fabulous, whimsical paintings, created for his own pleasure and never shown to the public, show Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) in a whole new light. Depicting outlandish creatures in otherworldly settings, the paintings use a dazzling rainbow of hues not seen in the primary-color palette of his books for children, and exhibit a sophisticated and often quite unrestrained side of the artist. 65 color illustrations.List Out Of Books The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss

Gorgeous collection of Dr. Seuss's art. (I won't say "artwork", because he thought painting wasn't "work" and he'd therefore only do it at night.) I've long wanted this book, and my sweet nieces (with a bit of help from their mother) gave it to me for Christmas! Oh frabjous day! Callou, callay! Whoops, wrong work, but you get the idea.The book itself is very nice, and has a lot of interesting art... but I think I prefer the whimsical artwork in Seuss's children's books to anything shown here. Some of the sculptures were downright disturbing, and I kinda wish I hadn't seen them. Heh.
I picked this book up at the library just because the title sounded intriguing. And I've been on a Dr. Seuss reading jag recently. I starting reading this book, and three hours later, I put it down.This is a collection of artwork by Dr. Seuss. Pictures he would draw for his own entertainment, when he was working of his books. None of these have ever been released to the public before. And I loved ever one of them. These are funny to see, but you also just keep looking, and looking.Great stuff.
A look at the array of artwork Dr. Seuss produced. I was surprised to see that along with paintings and drawings he also made sculptures. Admittedly I didn't like the sculptures as much because they utilized animal horns which just made me feel uncomfortable. The dimensions of each piece is included as is a list of the media used in its creation (I found this feature to be fascinating).I loved reading the inventive titles for his works, but was a little surprised/disappointed that some of the
Loved seeing Dr. Seusss paintings and artwork in other media. He was a creative genius for sure. I really liked the watercolor Archbishop Katz and the colorful oil on canvas Venetian Cat-Singing Oh Solo Meow. On the other hand, the pencil and watercolor The Rather Odd Myopic Woman Riding Piggyback on one of Helens Many Cats was way too weird for my liking! I also love the vivid colors and imagination in the very Seuss-like home depicted in oil on canvas That Winter Spring Came Late.

If you don't know Mr. Geisel's history, this book might be somewhat shocking. If you do know his history, this book would be rather interesting.
