The Cat in the Hat is back, and so is Dr. Seuss.
Both will be celebrated at Philadelphia's Lineage Gallery, which is reintroducing the famous author in an exhibit honoring his legacy.
Joshua Liner, co-owner of the gallery, said the exhibit -- which will run through the end of the month -- is "still very relevant today."
"Even though some of his work is 60 years old, it still seems very current and contemporary," Liner said.
He believes people of any age can connect with Seuss' children's literature.
"Few people can touch so many generations of people," Liner said. "Very few people can walk by, see Dr. Seuss and not have it mean something to them."
Spanning his entire career, the exhibit features a collection of prints and sculptures depicting images from Seuss' works.
Paintings include Cat from the Wrong Side of the Tracks,which shows a darker side of Seuss' characters, depicting the cat as a pool shark.
Another painting, Cat Detective in the Wrong Part of Town, is an abstract, Seuss-like cityscape.
Liner said that "there's a whole lot of information displayed that people probably don't know, like that [Seuss] did World War II editorial cartoons and used to illustrate magazine covers."
Though not geared toward a specific audience, the exhibit is expected to attract a broad range of people.
"Seuss is something everyone can relate to," Liner said.
He added that The Cat in the Hat, a Seuss classic, is "the second most printed book in the English language -- and only to the Bible."
Less commonly known as Dr. Theodore Seuss Geisel, Dr. Seuss amassed a lengthy resume unknown to most of his readers.
He received a doctorate in literature from Oxford University and joined the U.S. Army in World War II, writing documentaries to educate citizens about the horrors of Nazi Germany.
This is the Lineage Gallery's second time hosting the show, having launched it last year to honor Seuss' 100th birthday.
While the gallery is close to many college campuses, Liner predicted that visitors will mostly be adults who are more likely to purchase artwork.
There is no admission fee to enter the exhibit, which will be on display until Nov. 27.
