Dr. Seuss, Grinch at Mount Crumpit

About the Item

Dr. Seuss Grinch at Mount Crumpit (50th Anniversary of How the Grinch Stole Christmas) Serigraph on Rag Paper 61 x 32 inches Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1957 book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Dr. Seuss felt people largely mistook The Grinch for the ultimate villain saying, “Can't they understand that the Grinch in my story is the Hero of Christmas? Sure, he starts out as a villain, but it’s not how you start out that counts. It’s what you are at the finish.” This sentiment is what makes Dr. Seuss’s unorthodox creature so memorable—in the end he became his best self, he became the Hero of Christmas, and The Grinch himself carved the “roast beast.” Theodor Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American author, political cartoonist, poet, animator, book publisher, and artist, best known for authoring children's books under the pen name Dr. Seuss. His work includes several of the most popular children's books of all time, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death. Geisel adopted his "Dr. Seuss" pen name during his university studies at Dartmouth College and the University of Oxford. He left Oxford in 1927 to begin his career as an illustrator and cartoonist for Vanity Fair, Life, and various other publications. He also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for Flit and Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for the New York newspaper PM. He published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he worked in an animation department of the United States Army where he produced several short films, including Design for Death, which later won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. After the war, Geisel focused on children's books, writing classics such as If I Ran the Zoo (1950), Horton Hears a Who! (1955), If I Ran the Circus (1956), The Cat in the Hat (1957), How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1957), and Green Eggs and Ham (1960). He published over 60 books during his career, which have spawned numerous adaptations, including 11 television specials, four feature films, a Broadway musical, and four television series. He won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 for Horton Hatches the Egg and again in 1961 for And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. Geisel's birthday, March 2, has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.

after Dr. Seuss Cat Detective in the Wrong Part of Town Serigraph on canvas 38" x 30" Ready to hang Adapted posthumously from the 1969 original pencil and watercolor on illustration board. Here Dr. Seuss’s abstract expressionist style surrounds us with architectural echoes that are uniquely and stylistically Seuss. With a wink, he transports us to this stunning town and then leaves us wondering exactly where we are. Could this artwork be a Seussian travelogue of the cities Ted adored and which enticed him to explore time and again? Ionic columns, stairways descending into water, a lone palm tree, an adobe hacienda complete with veranda, Eiffel-esque structures, an elevated train, laundry out to dry, peaked chalets, a majestic entry arch...
