Review:

I popped into Artevo to take a look at the Dr. Seuss artwork. The items are serigraphs reproductions, BUT - the fact that you can see the large size paintings of the characters from all your favorite childhood bedtime stories makes this gallery worth a visit. Since the reproductions are such high quality, you get the same feeling as you would from the original (more or less). I had no idea Seuss painted large scale. You’ll also see the book characters in really surreal settings before they made it into the storybook setting. Very cool. Also interesting is his artwork from his advertising days. Really  funny political cartoons as well.
