Bring on Your Dragons!, hails from an unusually rare series of artworks created by Ted Geisel in the mid-1930s. These fully-developed paintings were Ted’s largest color project up to that moment in his career. They mirror the style, look, and feel of his art deco period, featuring works with heavy black backgrounds designed to visually force the central image forward, and represent Ted’s playful back-and-forth movement between paintings he created privately and those done for his commercial work.
