Arty-Fact: Adapted posthumously from an archived rough drawing for the 1957 book, How The Grinch Stole Christmas!

Dr. Seuss came up with the idea for The Grinch the day after Christmas when he looked in the mirror and saw a rather Grinch-ish look on his face. “Something had gone awfully wrong with Christmas or maybe with me, ” he said. Weary of the over-commercialisation of Christmas and sensing that the meaning of the holiday was being lost in the wrappings and ribbons, boxes and bows, Theodor sat down and wrote How The Grinch Stole Christmas!. He was 53 years old.

The Artist

Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) was a storyteller in the grandest sense of the word. Not only did he tell fantastical tales of far-away places but he also gave us a unique visual language that carried his stories to new heights of artistic expression. Surrealism provided the foundation from which he built his career, but like a launch pad sitting idle just before liftoff, surrealism was soon to be engulfed in the flames of ridiculous fun and its launch tower thrown to the ground with each new editorial cartoon, magazine cover, painting, or children’s book.
