“Like the quiet cats tucked into the corners of his early illustrations, Ted lingered at the edges of his own story—watching, creating, and waiting for just the right moment to step into the spotlight.”

TED’S LETTER
Six months prior to the release of The Cat in the Hat, Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) sensed that his “Cat” may be “sending off sky rockets” in the debate over children’s literacy. He wrote to his publisher:
“Don’t ever show this letter to anyone, but I’ve got a hunch (very immodest). Namely, according to Houghton-Mifflin, we’ve got a possibility of making a tremendous noise in the noisy discussion of Why Johnny Can’t Read…Too early to tell yet, so you and I should just watch and wait. But if Houghton Mifflin is right, we’ll be plumb in the middle of a great educational controversy… At that point we’ll have a better idea of whether we’re sending off sky rockets or not. And if it looks like sky rockets to you, we’ll have a big thing on our hands.”

Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1958 book, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back.
When Ted Geisel wrote The Cat in the Hat, Ellen Goodman of The Detroit Free Press wrote that it was “a little volume of absurdity that worked like a karate chop on the weary little world of Dick, Jane and Spot.” The Cat in the Hat Comes Back brilliantly followed up that “little volume of absurdity” in 1958 by introducing a full alphabetic complement of “cat companions” to help that bad Cat in the Hat out — Little Cats B,C and A! — plus D through Z!

It is widely reported that The Cat was Ted Geisel’s (aka Dr. Seuss) alter ego. Like Ted, The Cat stands tall with the stature of an adult, but is clearly a child at heart. To celebrate Seuss’s insightful perspective, we are proud to announce the first Triptych in the Art of Dr. Seuss Collection. This historic work features a series of three rough drawings from 1957 and highlights the first drawings ever made of Thing One and Thing Two.

Such moments can peel away the years and instantly connect us back to our childhood, a time when egos were eclipsed by the sheer joy of having pushed ourselves forward. One can almost hear the echoes of our past voices shouting, “Look at me! Look at me now!”
So too was it for Ted Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, upon writing The Cat in The Hat. The year was 1955 and Ted was challenged by his publisher to write a book using only 225 primer words. The hope was to empower early readers to go it alone, to do the unthinkable and read an entire book without assistance. The limited vocabulary proved a nearly impossible challenge for Ted, stating “I read the list forty times and got more and more discouraged. It was like trying to make a strudel without any strudels.”
Look closely at these two images and you’ll find subtle changes between rough concept drawing and final illustration, changes that cleverly add to the precarious tension of the scene.

The enduring legacy of The Cat may lie in this simple idea: Rather than creating children’s books based upon following the rules, Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) flipped that premise with The Cat to create books that encouraged questioning the rules. Ted seemed to understand that the act of finding-your-voice is where innovation and inspiration are born. His Cat suggests this cannot be uncovered simply by following the status quo, but instead lies in the anticipation of what might be if we stop and question the world around us.
That anticipation is on full view in this pivotal image from Ted’s sequel, The Cat in the Hat Comes Back. Just as the rules are about to be broken (again) and the mayhem re-ignited, he reminds us to listen to our own voice and follow it as we prepare for our next journey with the Cat!

the cat that changed the world
Overnight successes are often misunderstood. Great contributions are not born instantly, but instead are the accumulation of experiences, hard work, and constant challenges. Ted’s work over the 30 years prior to releasing The Cat in the Hat allowed him to hone his creative skill into a powerful combination of simple, bright illustrations, and hard-charging prose, which left no reader behind.
He had learned that fantasy was paramount to engaging his audience and seemed to infuse that notion into his iconic main character. Ted said of himself:
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do. And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.””

Adapted posthumously from an early concept drawing and the final illustration for the 1978 book, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!
Ted Geisel’s (aka Dr. Seuss) insatiable quest to get the most out of life through cultural and literary experiences started in early adulthood, most likely influenced by his mother’s early encouragement to read. In his early 20’s, Ted’s curiosity intensified while experiencing Paris and the pivotal Surrealist art movement. It continued as he trekked across thirty countries in the 1930’s, absorbing foreign cultures that would then go on to inform his work and guide his response to the world around him. In this stunning illustration, Ted highlights that one’s curiosity and desire to learn can fuel life’s experiences, and such experiences can build exponentially upon themselves. As he wrote, “The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

One of Dr. Seuss’s most iconic characters, the Cat in the Hat, gives us the ultimate permission to tap into our childhood ambitions of unimpeded fun. He effectively breaks down the paradigm of being an adult and allows us to be a child alongside our own children as we share his stories. The Cat has played a starring role in multiple Dr. Seuss books and earned a coveted accolade as corporate logo for one of the most successful book publishing ventures in history, Random House's Beginner Books Division.

CLICK HERE for a complete overview of this artwork.
The Cat in the Hat presents perhaps one of the best examples of the conundrums Dr. Seuss leaves in the hands of six-year-olds to solve. At the end of the book, after the Cat in the Hat wrecks the home and returns to clean everything up, the mother finally appears and asks, “Did you have any fun? Tell me. What did you do?” Instead of answering the question, Dr. Seuss passes the conundrum from the characters in the book to the readers who are now challenged to answer the dilemma.
Here we witness the moment where hand-typed and hand-cut blocks of copy, often still in progress, are taped or glued against a preliminary rough drawing, or even the final line work itself.
the secret cats
During the mid-1920s, Ted began painting privately for his own creative enjoyment. This passion would become one of his favorite pastimes and the works he created during the next 60 years would eventually become known as “The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss.”
These works allude to Ted’s entire life experience, from the artistic movements he encountered in Paris and New York, to the vast travel adventures he began in the late twenties and continued throughout most of his life. “Ted’s Cats” appear throughout these works, sometimes center stage, while other times subordinate to the fantastical landscapes surrounding them. What seems consistent throughout the brushstrokes stretching across six decades of paintings is a life well-lived — a life of adventure, challenge, love, and great purpose. Indeed, through Ted’s work, we are offered a glimpse into the best aspects of our own lives.

Dr. Seuss’s private artworks have been called his “Midnight Paintings” for good reason. They were mostly done in the loneliest hours of the night when the pressures of his day had subsided. In that quiet darkness, he would retire to his easel to see what inspiration might unfold. Those moments were not about being lonely, but rather about great artistic freedom flourishing in the stillness of the night.
Perspective is everything, and he seemed to harness that idea to create one of the 20th century’s most important and timeless bodies of work.

Here Dr. Seuss’s abstract expressionist style surrounds us with architectural echoes that are uniquely and stylistically Seuss. With a wink, he transports us to this stunning town and then leaves us wondering exactly where we are. Could this artwork be a Seussian travelogue of the cities Ted adored and which enticed him to explore time and again? Ionic columns, stairways descending into water, a lone palm tree, an adobe hacienda complete with veranda, Eiffel-esque structures, an elevated train, laundry out to dry, peaked chalets, a majestic entry arch, piazzas, and chimneys galore. As only he can, Dr. Seuss takes us to Athens, Venice, San Diego, Mexico City, Paris, New York, Cuzco, Lucerne, Brussels, Florence, and London in a single trip; a confluence of his favorite travels.
Ted, who traveled to 30 countries in the 1930’s, uses his Cubist influence here to not only depict his own travels, but encourage us to push ourselves as far as we can when traveling, to get inspired and soak up every bit of culture along the way.

Ted Geisel was a connoisseur of contemporary culture and sought inspiration from some of the most well-known artists of the early 20th century. From his timely fascination with the Surrealists to his discovery of the cubists and abstract expressionists, Ted consistently found himself in close proximity to some of the greatest art movements of the last 100 years.
Minor-Cat Miner hints at the cubist and abstract expressionist influence from the 1900s through the 1940s, along with several other prominent Secret Art paintings such as Cat Detective in the Wrong Part of Town and Archbishop Katz.

Dr. Seuss’s The Great Cat Continuum seems poised as a powerful artistic expression of this grand adventure. Likely painted during the 1970s, enough time and life experiences had accumulated for Ted to step back and thoughtfully comment on the trajectory of his life. His iconic Cat (often cited as Seuss himself) is depicted navigating a set of floating doors or windows—twisted openings on a curving continuum of life. Metaphorically embracing each decision and walking into each new experience, the Cat navigates away from threatening clouds towards a clearing sky—there light begins to break as if to confirm that this winding journey was exactly as it should be for him, or for any of us.

“We have all been there, energized by a pursuit, following a dream, unraveling a mystery, or solving a problem. Most of us are likely somewhere on that path today, trying to catch a bird at the end of a maze. Indeed, this can be an ‘Intolerable Situation for a Cat”
Ted Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, pursued his ideas with the tenacity of a cat chasing a bird. Ideas were the crux of his career, and with each new book project, the pursuit of the perfect concept would begin in earnest. However, artists are faced with a myriad of creative options and the twisting, curving journey to identify the right path can be daunting.
If the perfect idea is represented by the bird in this striking painting, and Ted is the Cat from its title, then we can clearly see the conundrum in pursuing perfection. Ted suggests that if one could just get to the idea, it would take flight. Yet at the same time, he presents us with a bird sitting calmly, almost confidently, knowing that to catch him will take more than a fleeting effort.

Most of us have experienced a time early in our adult life when the entire world sits before our eyes. Young, eager, and prepared to chase our dreams, there is an excitement and trepidation that fuels those early days.
If you have been there, you are also familiar with the dingy one-room apartments and meager financial means, which define most young adults in that moment.
Dr. Seuss was no exception, living in such a place with his close Dartmouth friend and artistic confidant, Jack Rose. Jack invited Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) to bunk in his New York City studio, just above a raucous, underground nightclub. Down the hall was the communal bathroom, which included a shower-bath.

Hidden away for years, A Plethora of Cats - Study marks the first-ever Secret Art concept work released in the Art of Dr. Seuss Collection.
"Nearly 10 years after first meeting Audrey Geisel (Ted Geisel’s wife), I was rummaging through Ted’s now famous hidden closet of rare hats and artwork and found an additional collection of artwork I had never seen. In stunned silence, I found myself face-to-face with the concept drawing that started it all – the original incarnation of A Plethora of Cats.
I thought the Plethora of Cats painting had been done spontaneously. It turns out I had been wrong – he planned it out all along. The concept drawing for the painting contained all of the complexity of the final image, but in this work I found something charged with a chaotic energy and whimsy that launched this milestone image.”
