Cat From The Wrong Side Of The Tracks


Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) made this piece in 1997. I was fascinated by detail Geisel paid to the objects in this piece. It looks as though the streetwise cat is actually in a smokey bar about to take a shot on a strange pool table. Sometimes it looks natural, but a second later I'll see the cat's eyes or the odd blocks on the table and the whole piece appears dream-like. This piece seems to play jump-rope with reality.
