If you plant the right seed and nurture it over time, life can grow in spectacular and unexpected ways.
By 1957, Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) had been tilling the soil of his artistic vision for nearly two decades. A healthy rise to prominence was taking hold, having already published 13 books and introducing the world to such perennial characters as Horton (the star of two books by 1957) and Thidwick The Big Hearted Moose.
Ted’s artistic soil was fertile by the time he began conceiving The Cat in the Hat. His hope was to change the way children learned to read. What he never imagined was that by nurturing the seed he had planted, The Cat would grow into a world-wide brand and become one of the most iconic characters of all time.
Much like the flower growing from the top of the Cat’s head in this recently discovered artwork, Ted’s unlikely rise to fame is an important reminder that good ideas, when planted in fertile soil and nurtured over time, can have a dramatic impact on the trajectory of our lives.
A SIMPLE IDEA GROWS INTO AN INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING ICON
The Cat has played a starring role in multiple Dr. Seuss books since his first appearance in 1957. It has also earned the coveted accolade as the logo for one of the most successful book publishing ventures in history, Random House’s Beginner Books Division. The Cat was one of the first to give us permission to tap into our childhood ambitions of unimpeded fun. He effectively broke down the paradigm of being an adult and allowed us to be a child alongside our own children as we shared his stories.
We are proud to present a rare, large-scale edition of The Flower Pot Cat on canvas.
THE DELUXE EDITION
In celebration of this pivotal moment in Ted’s life, as well as the dramatic impact he made following the release of the Cat in the Hat, we are proud to present a rare, large-scale edition of The Flower Pot Cat on canvas. While this large-scale canvas commands attention and is an impactful statement in anyone’s home, it is a small nod to the power of nurturing our best ideas and growing our lives in spectacular ways.
