Adapted posthumously from the circa 1933 watercolor and ink painting created for the cover of the June 1933 issue of Judge magazine.In 1927, Dr. Seuss landed a New York City job with Judge magazine, a weekly satire coveted for its full-color political cartoons. Ted’s unique artistic vision captured the attention of several leading magazines as he went on to create five front covers for Judge alone. The magical middle ground between Ted’s first professionally published cartoon in 1927 and the publication of his first children’s book in 1937 occurs on the June 1933 cover of Judge. Here you not only witness a illustrator hitting his artistic stride on the way to becoming America’s most successful children’s book author, but you also get a preview of his beloved repertoire of bestiary to come.

Dr. Seuss - United States
Art Brokerage: Dr. Seuss aka Theodor Geisel American Artist: b. 1904-1991. Theodor Seuss Geisel a.k.a Dr.Seuss, requires little introduction. He began his career as an editorial cartoonist in the 1920's and in the years that followed he delivered 44 children's books, over 400 World War II political cartoons, hundreds of advertisements and countless editorials filled with wonderfully inventive animals, characters and Seussian humor. While everyone may be familiar with Seuss book illustrations most of the public are unaware that Seuss was a visual artist who painted and sculpted for his own enjoyment. Secret Art and Unorthodox Taxidermy and bronze editions. Theodor Geisel (1904-1991), aka Doctor Seuss artwork is one of the most sought after collections today. UNORTHODOX TAXIDERMY was a collaborative effort between the artist and his first publisher to sell a collection of fantastical creatures created by Dr Seuss. Hailed by LOOK Magazine in 1938 as "The world's most eminent authority on unheard-of animals." These early works have been painstakingly recreated and offered by the estate as limited editions. For over 60 years, Dr. Seuss's illustrations brought a visual realization to his fantastic and imaginary worlds. His Secret Art works the paintings and sculptures he did at night for himself were rarely exhibited during his lifetime. Seuss always dreamed of sharing these works with his fans and had entrusted his wife, Audrey, to carry out his wishes once he was gone. Audrey believed that Ted himself would one day be evaluated not only as an author, but also as an artist in his own right. Listings wanted, we have buyers waiting.
Looking for Seuss secret art with any combination of 7's in the edition number. (#7, #77, #777) Cat Tracks, Fooling Nobody, Orient Cat are of particular interest. May sound odd, but I think that's appropriate to have an odd numbers fetish for an artist like Seuss. :)
