by Dr. Seuss and Andrew Joyner
Flap Copy Description:
Your tour guide will show you how different artists SEE horses and how those different visions create unique ART. With reproductions of over thirty pieces of artwork, this is an exhibit you won't want to miss!
Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum is based on a manuscript and sketches by the beloved Dr. Seuss (aka Ted Geisel). Illustrator Andrew Joyner studied the sketches and created illustrations that pay homage to Seuss's line, characters, and artistic energy, while being uniquely his own. Also included are endnotes on the artists and artworks featured, as well as how this book came to be!
My Thoughts:
Like so many, I have been a Dr. Seuss fan for decades. When I heard of the release of a new book by the iconic author - based on a manuscript and sketches discovered in 2013 - I couldn't wait to pick up a copy. Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum is sensational! This book will inspire young readers to create art, and learn how to appreciate it, as well. Also included are easy-to-understand descriptions of Realism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Cubism, and Abstract art. I highly recommend this never-before-published book to Dr. Seuss fans, and budding artists, everywhere!
