  • If you take a close look, you will notice something missing from this painting. The usual "Dr. Seuss" signature has been replaced with the moniker, "Stroogo Von M."

    Just a few months ago, while talking with Audrey Geisel about artworks in the new Secrets of the Deep book, the question of Stroogo Von M. came up. Audrey replied, “Oh, Ted liked to hang that artwork in the entryway of ‘Seuss House’ [the Geisel home]. When people would come in, they would invariably ask about the painting. Ted would answer, ‘That’s my Stroogo Von M. How do you like it?’ In return, what he would get from friends was an honest opinion without them knowing it was his painting. It was one of Ted’s great practical jokes. On occasion, someone would say, ‘Ah yes, I know Stroogo’s work,’ which would say something quite different about the house guest.”
     
    Green Cat with Lights falls into the category of Ted’s “Big Cats” along with Joseph Katz and His Coat of Many Colors, Indistinct Cat with Cigar, Cat from the Wrong Side of the Tracks, Alley Cat for a Very Long Alley, and Wisdom of the Orient Cat. These are some of the most sought-after and cherished artworks of the entire collection.

"Raising Money for the Arts"

THEODORE "DR SEUSS" GEISEL
 

Hand Pulled Serigraph on Canvas

Edition size: 850

In 1963, Ted Geisel donated a recent (circa 1962) painting from his La Jolla Birdwoman series to a charity auction benefiting the La Jolla Art Center. This prized artwork titled Raising Money for the Arts in La Jolla, won the top auction bid of the night, more than was paid for a Cézanne drawing. It was the one and only time Ted offered one of his paintings for “sale.”

We proudly announce the release of the Raising Money for the Arts print edition*. This hand-pulled, fine art serigraph pays homage to patrons who also support the valuable role played by fine art galleries, which make it possible for us to experience art's inspiration each and every day.
