“Dr. Seuss was a romantic in many ways, often crafting paintings and drawings that tap into our ongoing quest and desire for romance.”
Summer of Love Collection
This summer we celebrate a rarely seen romantic side of Ted Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss…
We’re all romantics at heart. So it’s no surprise that these works would be so sought after, and in many cases sell out more quickly than others. The works in this special Summer of Love collection all share in the idea of searching for, and celebrating, the one who shares your heart.
Each artwork acquired from the Summer of Love collection will be accompanied by an exclusive photograph of Ted and his wife Audrey, available only through this unique opportunity.
Contact your art consultant to acquire, and to learn more about the works in this collection.
The anticipation of romance awaits us all. What begins as a lone “Stag” journey to the watering hole becomes something magical when Seuss surrounds his creature with Dali-esque, Deco-inspired architecture that promises a love connection over the horizon for us all.
Mystery abounds as Ted’s Antlered Animal cautiously approaches the Pink Tufted Small Beast with an earnest eye and wide smile. The Small Beast, filled with the same anticipation, is perched atop an impossibly precarious tower, further alluding to the tension that fuels such moments.
NOTE: this special set price, representing over $400 in savings, is only available for a limited time and is subject to availability.
This quintessential story begins with the Stag, alone at the watering hole in search of companionship. Ted then reveals the magical moment of connection, that unexpected discovery of what might be when we fall in love. The Stag at Eve and Antlered Animal Adoring Pink-Tufted Small Beast are perfectly paired together in this rare opportunity.

A celebration of the moments we share together with the ones we hold most dear, Love and Music captures the delight of being in love and at peace. Ted painted this piece while living with the one he loved most, together in the home of his dreams. The Geisel’s Southern California oasis was a realization of Ted’s desire to live somewhere he could “walk around outside in his pajamas,” much like the serene, pajama-clad character depicted here. The exotic sitar-like instrument likely was inspired by his many global excursions, including India, where Audrey was always by his side.
Ted would often tap into our ongoing quest and desire for romance. Here, a wistful stag allows a pair of woodpeckers to safely court atop his antlers. There is a sense of pride in providing such sanctuary for these lovebirds, although one can’t help but sense a longing for the stag’s own sweetheart, perhaps a doe named Emma?
Falling in love is much like swinging on a trapeze high above the ground. It requires “perfect timing.” It asks us to take a risk and be daring. It begs us to trust. And above all, it asks us to commit gracefully and with an ease that pulls us together in a high-flying choreography that continues to exhilarate.
Dr. Seuss created three extraordinary books that stand out artistically from his famous color filled pen-and-ink line drawings. Much like the elaborate paintings found in the Secret Art Collection, these works are lush with depth and wonder. A Plethora of Flowers is a quintessential example - a jungle of flowers envelope the scene, an overflowing bouquet ready to burst from the painting’s edges. The Summer of Love is a celebration of our most vital relationships, and this incredible symphony of Seussian flowers seems to capture it all.
