Green Cat in Uleåborg Finland Subway joins an acclaimed group of Secret Cats from Ted Geisel’s extraordinarily personal collection of midnight paintings.  Cats have taken center stage as a recurring theme in many of Ted’s most important and most sought-after artworks.  Like a window into his soul, these works provide a behind-the-scenes look at Seuss the man and the artist.  Some cats appear as bold portraits, while in the case of these works, the mostly hidden cats take supporting roles that cleverly punctuate or decode Dr. Seuss as the creator of these images.  Ted’s Secret Cats are the ultimate expression of his personality, humor, and artistic inventiveness secreted within his most personal creations.
