Cuddle Fish - Framed #618

The collection's curator, Bill Dreyer, wrote in the preface to Secrets of the Deep: “While researching Ted’s paintings and sculpture at his La Jolla home, I became aware that Ted and Audrey kept more than forty artworks behind a concealed false door that were publicly unknown and unpublished, all waiting for Audrey to reveal them to Ted’s fans.” Cuddle Fish is one of these artworks. In the vein of the Horton Line Drawing, this work exudes classic Seussian charm and confirms the Good Doctor’s breezy artistic style.
