ILLUSTRATION ART
Like Norman Rockwell, Seuss personally created every rough sketch, preliminary drawing, final line drawing and finished work for each page of every project he illustrated. Despite the technical and budgetary limitations of color printing during the early and mid-twentieth century, Dr. Seuss the artist was meticulous about color selection. He created specially numbered color charts and elaborate color call-outs to precisely accomplish his vision for each book. Saturated reds and blues, for example, were carefully chosen for The Cat in the Hat to attract and maintain the visual attention of a six-year-old audience.
By the time Seuss’s book career took off, sharp draftsman skills were evident in drawings. His ability to move a storyline ahead via illustrations filled with tension, movement and color became a hallmark component of his work, and the surreal images that unfolded over six decades became the catalyst for a humorous and inspired learning experience.

STAR BELLIED FRIENDS
Image Size - 17"H x 15"W
Edition Size 1500
$325 Unframed
One of Dr. Seuss’s wonderfully rich stories is the unforgettable tale of the Sneetches – some with stars on their bellies and some without. It is this star, or lack of it, that brilliantly teaches children about social injustice. Ultimately, Seuss humorously shows us the absurdity in racism and prejudice.
Dr. Seuss wrote “Sneetches”, in 1961 to teach children about discrimination. He wrote the book to address how different groups of people didn’t like each other during World War II.
