Cat Detective

Long known as an avid cultural sponge,Ted Geisel created this work smack dab in the middle of Peter Sellers’ multiple movie turns as Inspector Clouseau.
Ted Geisel’s abstract expressionist style takes us to the heart of the crime,surrounding us with the architectural echoes that are uniquely and stylistically Seussian.

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.
