The Secret Art of Dr Seuss book companion


Dr Seuss was a master at the art of storytelling in rhyme (he would have been one hell of a rapper) and his work has inspired generations. There is a charm and intelligence to his children’s books that transcends age to inspire the young and the young at heart with equal passion.

Creating a plethora of iconic pop culture characters like the Cat in the Hat, The Grinch and Fox in Sox, the memorable illustrations from his tales are as recognisable as Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny.

A new exhibition at Sydney’s Trevor Victor Harvey Gallery is showcasing some of the legendary figures original visual character interpretations. The Doctors skill with a pen is universally acknowledged but his talent for sculpture, drawing and painting is often overlooked. This display aims to rectify that.

Boasting a collection of rare and forgotten art, this astonishing selection includes a range of unique characters and an assortment of intriguing designs that were only released after his death.

Not to missed by fans for more information and samples from the exhibition please visit tvhgallery.com.au

Interesting! I love Dr. Seuss, and one of the main reasons is for the unique art work.

Hi Hazel,

I have always worshipped the good doctor and his eccentric creations. Glad the next generation continues to embrace his vision.

Hi Natalie 2,

Seuss' unique mind is what will always set him apart from his contemporaries. His visual style is every bit as impressive as Disney and as off the wall as Tex Avery.

Hi Morgan,

The idea of touring Seuss' cerebral cortex is tempting to say the least, between him and Salvador Dali I think my mind would implode...in a good way.

Are you going to see the exhibit?
