SUMMARY:The Cat Behind the Hat - The Art of Dr. Seuss
DESCRIPTION:For over 60 years\, Dr. Seuss’s illustrations have brought a visual realization to his fantastic and imaginary worlds. His artistic talent went far beyond the printed page and yet\, to this day\, his Secret Art Collection is virtually unknown to the general public. Throughout his lifetime\, Theodor Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) created paintings and sculpture\, which he secreted away at the Dr. Seuss Estate. \nAnn Jackson Gallery will share a compelling selection of artworks from The Art of Dr. Seuss Collection at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment\, 2211 Seminole Drive SW\, Huntsville\, AL\, Thursday\, Feb. 10 – Saturday\, Feb. 14. Visitors may explore and acquire works from Dr. Seuss’s best-known children’s books\, as well as The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss\, a mindexpanding collection based on decades of artwork\, which Dr. Seuss created at night for his own personal pleasure. Perhaps the wackiest and most wonderful elements of the collection are Dr. Seuss’s three-dimensional “Unorthodox Taxidermy” sculptures with names such as Carbonic Walrus\, Two-Horned Drouberhannis\, and Goo-Goo-Eyed Tasmanian Wolghast\, to name a few.
