sammygee 's review for:
The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss
by Audrey Geisel
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 paintings I had the strongest reactions to were left untitled.
Favorites include: Self-Portrait of the Artist Worrying About his Next Book (white out is one of the medias used!), Joseph Katz and His Coat of Many Colors (vibrant colors that really appealed to me), Impractical Marshmallow-Toasting Device (I could look at this pieces for hours), Lion Stroll (the trees are amaaaaaaaaazing), The Joyous Leaping of Uncanned Salmon (the color and emotion of the subject really appeal to me, That Winter Spring Came Late (a painting that inspires a thousand stories in my head), and 2 untitled pieces near the end of the book that both feature waves (the waves are maybe my favorite waves ever real or imagined).
Red flags: nudity, smoking, and the use of objects such as horns in his sculptures
