Our Name

Famous for his Dr. Seuss children's books, Theodor Geisel  also created a robust body of surrealist art. A pseudonym to a pseudonym, Dr. Seuss signed his work Green Cat with Lights (seen above) as “Stroogo Von M.” His wife intimated that he used this second pseudonym in order to observe unbiased reactions from his guests as they viewed the piece.  Strooga, a feminized version of Stroogo, understands that objectivity is in the eye of the beholder.
