These fabulous, whimsical paintings, created for his own pleasure and never shown to the public, show Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) in a whole new light.
Ooh ooh! I have some books for you, then :) I assume that you can probably find a lot of these through your school library:
I also have two catalogues of Harunobu prints, Harunobu and his age (British Museum) and Suzuki Harunobu (Philadelphia Museum of Art) (out of which the latter is the better book, when in doubt, go with the book that was more-recently published, Ukiyo-e scholarship has greatly improved over the past 40 years). I really want to find this catalogue: Suzuki Harunobu (Chiba City Museum) but haven't been able to find one yet.
Hope this helps and enjoy - Harunobu is fascinating! Let me know if you have any questions.
Final illustration for "Whistle for Willie" [The University of Southern Mississippi] 1964. Collage and paint on board.
Keats is best known for introducing multiculturalism into mainstream American children's literature. He was one of the first children’s book authors to use an urban setting for his stories and he developed the use of collage as a medium for illustration [wiki...]
Given your nom de plume, Vercingetorix, you have probably already seen this info:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwTIjnIOnME - The movie is fairly cheesy (the YouTube title is weird), but it is interesting to watch.
The book of the same title by Morgan Llywelyn is better: https://www.amazon.com/Druids-Morgan-Llywelyn/dp/0688088198/
>Interesting, any literature on this part of his life you'd recommend?
Yes, Andrew Graham-Dixon's A Life Sacred and Profane is a great read.
A few years ago I read this amazing book about Diane Arbus called Revelations. It was great because it discussed (with a multitude of photographs) her process and the day to day things that transpired. Often it would have an entire contact sheet of the images made, with a famous photo (like this one) right there. Like them or not, she really worked hard to get them. One day I have to buy that book. Its kind of expensive though. Relevant link if anyone is interested: http://www.amazon.com/Diane-Arbus-Revelations/dp/0375506209/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1375458513&sr=1-1&keywords=revelations+diane+arbus
I really enjoyed The Passion of Artemisia by Susan Vreeland. Here is the Amazon page with the summary.
The Art Spirit by Robert Henri. Amazingly articulate for an artist.
Letters to a Young Poet was ineffably helpful in learning to hold loneliness/solitude as something valuable. One of the most insightful books I have read. And it is extremely short.
There was an Art Detectives episode featuring what they believe is a test portrait of this work. I found it pretty neat.
Here is the US Amazon Prime link to the show. It's listed as Episode 1 of Season 3 (Devon) but the video linked on the page is switched with Episode 2.
I just finished a book on Motherwell . Anyone who is interested in abstract expressionism should consider picking it up.
The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss.
Examples.
...and your point is?
Almost all illustrators, and artist use reference material. Hell, there are books published that comprised entirely posed photographic reference for artists. And these have been in print for years.
The Fairburn system
The one that I used while at college.
