The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss

95 pp. A collection of previously unpublished Dr. Seuss illustrations, with a brief preface by his widow Audrey Geisel, an introduction by Maurice Sendak, and a chronology of Seuss's works following text. '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.'
