Louis Wain

[ragepaige]

Well, not too sure how my psych exam went. I'll just have to wait and see. Something I did learn from that class though was that there was a really interesting artist named Louis Wain who only painted cats (my favorite): some as humans, some normally. He was schizophrenic though, and as his disease progressed, his artwork became more and more

Eeep!! I love Louis Wain!! He's one of my favorite artists/crazy people ever.

You're lucky... The only people we ever got to read about in the psych classes I've taken were the regular boring guys like Piaget and Freud. :P

I think Piaget and Freud were kinda the main point of the lecture, but this peaked my interest a little more. Sure, Freud can psychoanalyze your subconscious conflicts, but can he draw a symmetrical paisley cat? :)
Speaking of cats, did you end up naming your new pet?

The painting of the monocle totin', cigar smokin' cat is totally boss.

Ya, I've pretty much decided that it's my overall favourite one...Second is that flower-eyes one.
