Fooling Nobody

Seuss seems to suggest that no matter how big, inflated or different the image we try to portray, being ourselves is most important.
For despite our efforts, we are Fooling Nobody.
Seuss has a rich history of making fun of those who may think too much of themselves.

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.
