📘 Dr. Seuss, the cat behind the hat by Dr. Seuss

Scholars and fans alike gain insight into how the whimsical landscapes and characters that populated his stories were first born in these quiet, late‑night studio sessions. With details of the exhibition’s curation and the artist’s own reflections on his dual life as illustrator and surrealist painter, the show provides a fresh, richly contextual view of one of America’s iconic artists.
