The Cat Behind the Hat
 | | "The Cat Behind the Hat" a mixed media pigment print on canvas, 20" x 10" |
Ted Geisel's most iconic self-portrait ran in the July 6, 1957 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Appearing just four months after the launch of The Cat in the Hat, this classic portrait depicts Dr. Seuss as his mischievous alter ego, complete with red and white stovepipe hat, cat ears, and the Cat's now famous red bow tie. Ted and his hatted Cat shared an affinity for bow ties, each wearing them throughout their long lives.
 | | "Cuddle Fish" a limited edition pigment print on paper, 20" x 26.5" |
The Dr. Seuss Collection curator writes in the preface to the Secrets of the Deep book: "While researching Ted's paintings and sculpture at his La Jolla home, I became aware that Ted and Audrey kept more than forty artworks behind a concealed false door that were publicly unknown and unpublished, all waiting for Audrey to reveal them to Ted's fans."
Cuddle Fish is one of these artworks, kept close at hand by Ted throughout his lifetime, which resides still with Audrey in the Geisel home. In the vein of the Horton Line Drawing, this work exudes classic Seussian charm and confirms the Good Doctor's breezy artistic talent.
