Myopic Woman

Myopic Woman encompasses elements of cubism, which was developed shortly after Seuss’s birth, between 1908 and 1912 in a collaboration between Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso.
Ted Geisel’s wife had many cats and it was inevitable they would one day appear in his artworks.

For over 60 years, Dr. Seuss’s illustrations brought a visual realization to his fantastic and imaginary worlds. However, his artistic talent went far beyond the printed page, as in his Secret Art works – the paintings and sculptures he did at night for himself that he 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, too, believed the work deserved further recognition and that Ted himself would one day be evaluated not only as an author, but also as an artist in his own right.
