This is the moment when TheGrinch changed forever, Dr Seuss’ inspiring moment when The Grinch understands that Christmas “Doesn’t come from a store,” the magical moment when The Grinch discovers the true meaning of Christmas.
Here is true insight into Dr Seuss’ creative process. This Sound Sounded Merry is from the original rough drawing used in creating How The Grinch Stole Christmas! and is presented as a collage with the words applied as separate sheets to the drawing, just as in Dr Seuss’ original work. The largest format ever for an edition of his rough drawings it is of the pivotal moment in Seuss’ transformational work.
In many ways The Grinch is the most personal of Dr Seuss’ characters. As he related:
“I was brushing my teeth on the morning of the 26th of December when I noted a very Grinch-ish countenance in the mirror. It was Seuss! So I wrote the story about my sour friend, The Grinch, to see if I could rediscover something about Christmas that obviously, I’d lost.”
Truly a legacy, friends of the holidays, of The Grinch or of Dr. Seuss will find This Sound Sounded Merry to be a unique and wonderful addition to their collection.
Measuring 14 X 22″ this collage pigment print on paper is truly well priced at $695. Released in a relatively small Arabic edition of 850 it is destined to be one of the most popular of his works this holiday season.
