When an artist does a self-portrait, inevitably it’s the back-story that is a secret window into the creative mind behind a renowned body of work. Self-Portrait of the Artist Worrying about His Next Book (1959) is a great piece of whimsy that portrays Dr. Seuss’s quandary of what to do after the huge success of The Cat in the Hat and How The Grinch Stole Christmas! He shouldn’t have worried—Green Eggs and Ham came next.
