Releases "first- ever" political print art to the public

 
Coinciding with the historic 2008 Presidential election, Dr. Seuss throws his "hat" into the ring by releasing the first- ever political print editions to the public. Featuring imagery from politically charged artworks, books and editorial cartoons, the Dr. Seuss for President art exhibition offers an unusual glimpse into the sociopolitical- minded imagination from the world's most celebrated icon of popular culture. The "Cat in the Hat," will serve as the face of the Dr. Seuss for President campaign.

The exhibition will feature the first- ever release of Knotty Problem, a thought provoking cartoon focused on the issue of taxes and Capitol Hill created by Seuss in 1942. The first- ever print of the Triple Sling Jigger, from Seuss's controversial Butter Battle Book which focused on nuclear proliferation, will be included in the exhibition. Finally, four environmentally- friendly prints from The Lorax book will be released to promote Seuss's platform on resource conservation and the environment. Each of these prints is as relevant today as when they were penned decades ago.
