The fascination of flight has gripped us all, from childhood to adulthood and throughout the ages.
For centuries we have pursued the ability to soar like a bird, wings spread and carried by the wind. Flight represents the unbridled grace of movement and the unrestricted thrill of freedom. To fly unimpeded is a fantasy of surreal proportions and a constant source of inspiration throughout time.

Dr. Seuss witnessed the magic of flight firsthand, not only on his travels around the world, but also directly from his studio window. It was there that he watched birds migrate up and down the California coast. He watched the native birds nest within the tropical flora and fauna that populated the hillside on which he lived. The view from his studio inspired his creativity and made its way into countless paintings and book projects throughout his career.
One of the most prolific periods of Ted’s painting career emerged in the mid-1960s alongside these formidable experiences. Such iconic works as Freebird and Firebird came to life with a renewed sense of freedom, fantasy, and a lush sense of wonderment. The Birds and the Trees was also painted during this intensely creative moment.
The Birds and the Trees became one of the only known paintings to crossover from his private paintings to his public illustrations. As such, this painting is quite rare and a critical work within the canon of Seuss’s career
