Art Brokerage specialises in the artwork of Theodor (Theodor) Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. 30 listings. 1904-1991 - Artist Theodor Seuss Geisel was born 2 March 1904 in Springfield, MA. During WW II, Geisel joined the army and was sent to Hollywood. Captain Geisel would write for Frank Capra's Signal Corps Unit (for which he won the Legion of Merit) and do documentaries (he won Oscar's for Hitler Lives and Design for Death). Dr. Seuss also created a cartoon called Gerald McBoing-Boing which also won him an Oscar. In May of 1954, Life published a report concerning illiteracy among school children. The report said, among other things, that children were having trouble to read because their books were boring. This inspired Theodor Geisel's publisher, and prompted Geisel to send Geisel a list of 400 words he felt were important, asked him to cut the list to 250 words (the publishers idea of how many words at one time a first grader could absorb), and write a book. Nine months later, Geisel, using 220 of the words given to him published The Cat in the Hat, which went on to instant success. In 1960 Bennett Cerf bet Geisel $50 that he couldn't write an entire book using only fifty words. The result was Green Eggs and Ham. Dr. Seuss became the best selling childrens's book artist of all time. Art Brokerage has buyers for Theodore Geisel Dr. Seuss Original paintings and Prints. |
