內容簡介

形色萬千的馬—蘇斯博士馬的博物館

馬，在藝術家的眼中，是什麼樣子？他們用自己擅長的方式，呈現出不同形象、千變萬化的馬： 神話飛馬、奔騰戰馬、蒙德里安式的格子馬、坐在椅子上的人形馬；材質、技法各有其趣，像是銅雕、陶瓷、鐵絲、抽象畫、油畫、動畫分鏡…。書中並介紹許多藝術家的作品：畢卡索、喬治·史塔布斯（以畫馬聞名）、羅莎・邦賀（法國雕塑家）、亞歷山大·考爾德（美國著名雕塑家）、黛博拉·巴特菲爾德（以金屬製成的馬雕塑家聞名）當然也包括蘇斯博士的畫作。原來馬有這麼多樣貌，本書可謂馬的博物館喔！
A never-before-published Dr. Seuss book about creating and looking at art! Based on a manuscript and sketches discovered in 2013, this book is like a visit to a museum—with a horse as your guide! Explore how different artists have seen horses, and maybe even find a new way of looking at them yourself. Discover full-color photographic art reproductions of pieces by Picasso, George Stubbs, Rosa Bonheur, Alexander Calder, Jacob Lawrence, Deborah Butterfield, Franz Marc, Jackson Pollock, and many others—all of which feature a horse! Young readers will find themselves delightfully transported by the engaging equines as they learn about the creative process and how to see art in new ways. Taking inspiration from Dr. Seuss's original sketches, acclaimed illustrator Andrew Joyner has created a look that is both subtly Seussian and wholly his own. His whimsical illustrations are combined throughout with “real-life” art. Cameo appearances by classic Dr. Seuss characters (among them the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch, and Horton the Elephant) make Dr. Seuss's Horse Museum a playful picture book that is totally unique. Ideal for home or classroom use, it encourages critical thinking and makes a great gift for Seuss fans, artists, and horse lovers of all ages. Publisher's Notes discuss the discovery of the manuscript and sketches, Dr. Seuss's interest in understanding modern art, the process of creating the book, and information about each of the artists and art reproductions in the book.
