Story / Additional InfoUnless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
— The Lorax

In his 1971 seminal book, The Lorax, Dr. Seuss wrote, 'I speak for the Trees,' lending a vital and lasting voice to the growing concern over world conservation.Dr. Seuss’s Lorax stands confident and persistent, with steadfast determination and a clear vision of unwavering passion. He cares a 'whole awful lot' and knows what history has proven to make a difference — it only takes one!With that thought, Dr. Seuss’s voice stretches far beyond the crucial, but singular message of conservation. He seems to ask all of us, 'What do you care about . . . a whole awful lot?'The Lorax challenges us to decide why and how we want to make our mark on the world. In that way, The Lorax becomes a powerful symbol of following one’s convictions, whether they concern the environment, equality, justice, peace, or even love.

Dr. Seuss - United States

Art Brokerage: Dr. Seuss aka Theodor Geisel American Artist: b. 1904-1991. Theodor Seuss Geisel a.k.a Dr.Seuss, requires little introduction. He began his career as an editorial cartoonist in the 1920's and in the years that followed he delivered 44 children's books, over 400 World War II political cartoons, hundreds of advertisements and countless editorials filled with wonderfully inventive animals, characters and Seussian humor. While everyone may be familiar with Seuss book illustrations most of the public are unaware that Seuss was a visual artist who painted and sculpted for his own enjoyment. Secret Art and Unorthodox Taxidermy and bronze editions. Theodor Geisel (1904-1991), aka Doctor Seuss artwork is one of the most sought after collections today. UNORTHODOX TAXIDERMY was a collaborative effort between the artist and his first publisher to sell a collection of fantastical creatures created by Dr Seuss. Hailed by LOOK Magazine in 1938 as "The world's most eminent authority on unheard-of animals." These early works have been painstakingly recreated and offered by the estate as limited editions. For over 60 years, Dr. Seuss's illustrations brought a visual realization to his fantastic and imaginary worlds. His Secret Art works the paintings and sculptures he did at night for himself were 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 believed that Ted himself would one day be evaluated not only as an author, but also as an artist in his own right. Listings wanted, we have buyers waiting.
