Response to an artist: Dr. Suess himself!

It isn't till recently that I viewed Dr. Suess as an artist. I rented a book from our public library that showcased his art in a new way. Dr. Suess never 'officially' learned to draw, he just developed his skills by doodling in his school notebooks throughout the years. As he grew older and started writing and doing his own illustrations, he also began doing extensive painting and sculptures in his free time and at nights. He was never really interested in showcasing his art in museums or to the world and being viewed as an artist until after his death. Now his wife audrey sells his art and has a website for 'the art of dr. suess' and puts them in museums.

"Green cat with Lights"

The painting "Green Cat with Lights" is part of Dr. Suess' secret art that he was working on in his spare time and at nights. He never showcased his painting, sculptures, or illustrations as art but entrusted his wife Audrey to do so after he had passed.
