“Cat in Gothic Style” by Louis Wain ポスター

Louis William Wain’s wonderful anthropomorphic cats captured the imagination of the Victorian public and brought him success. As a leading authority on all things cats he was elected president of the National Cat Club, judged cat competitions and was involved in several animal charities. His deteriorating mental health in later years brought a psychedelic aspect to his art. This image is “Cat in Gothic Style” gouache.
