Pintaba gatos y gatitos. Al principio los felinos andaban en cuatro patas pero luego comenzaron a estar antropomorfizado y los gatos fumaban, hablaban, leían libros y periódicos y hacían, mas o menos, todo lo que hacen los humanos. Luego Wain, que nació en Londres, sufrió trastornos psiquiátricos y terminó en un sanatorio, entonces los gatos los pintaba de forma extraordinaria con unos fondos abstractos que los medicos pensaron que indicaba la presencia de esquizofrenia. Wein murió en Londres en 1939 y se puede decir que fue el precursor del movimiento psicodélico de la década de los 60, por los últimos gatos que pintó.
He painted cats and kittens. At first his cats were rather realistic and walked on four legs, but later they were anthropomorphised and the cats began to smoke, to read books and newspapers and to do things humans do. Later, Wein, born in London, suffered mental illness and ended up in a mental hospital where he began to paint some extraordinary cats. The abstract background signalled to doctors the onset of his schizophrenia. Wein died in London in 1939. He is believed to be the precursor of the psychedelic movement in art of the 1960’s because of his psychedelic cats that he painted while in hospital.
Diría que si os interesa este artista o esta pintura de gatos que busquéis mas acerca de Louis Wain. Aclaro que cuando Wain pintaba estos gatos, el hacerlo no era cosa muy popular, no como ahora que se pintan gatos, perros et cetera, el, de cierta forma, rompió los esquemas.
I would say that if you are interested in this artist or in his paintings of cats that you research further the life and work of Louis Wain. I just want to clarify that during the time that Wain was painting cats, this was not a common subject for painting, it wasn’t like now when people paint cats, dogs et cetera, so in a way he was a trend-setter and an iconoclast.
Gracias…
