The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss

By Theodor Seuss Geisel, edited by Audrey Geisel. Published by Penguin Random House. 

Hardcover, 96 pages, Colour, 1995. 

These fabulous, whimsical paintings, created for his own pleasure and never shown to the public, show Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) in a whole new light. Depicting outlandish creatures in otherworldly settings, the paintings use a dazzling rainbow of hues not seen in the primary-color palette of his books for children, and exhibit a sophisticated and often quite unrestrained side of the artist. 65 color illustrations.

Audrey Geisel was the widow of the late Dr. Seuss. She was in charge of his estate and works. Geisel passed away in 1991.
