I don't wanna have to keep repeating this but
1. Most of wains work that wasn't for an annual/book/advert isn't dated. We can make educated guesses but we don't know, so there is no evidence that his art "deteriorated" with time
2. He most likely decided to experiment with 🧵
🧵his art because he grew up around abstract patterned quilts
3. We don't even know if he actually had schizophrenia or not because fun fact, he's been dead for 80 years and we can't diagnose him with modern knowledge
4. The "I'm happy bc everyone loves me" piece was NOT his final piece by a long shot. That's estimated to have been created around the late 1920s and he died in 1939, and made art up until that point. What you're thinking of is it's commonly associated with him being moved to 🧵
TLDR is louis wains life is really hard to track and understand bc he had few surviving relatives and due to not copyrighting or dating his work, we can't be sure of particular dates 100%. His work is fascinating and beautiful on its own with out having to make shit up
ALSO ALSO I'm very appreciative of all the schizophrenic people debunking myths abt the disorder, im not schizophrenic myself i just really like louis wain, but it's been interesting to read & learn about!
Muting this now bc the notifs are a lot follow me if u like new wave, tmbg, cult movies or whatever other silly stuff i post art like that here & on insta (@/sir.catticus) !!
As much as i love the Beatles, can we all collectively admit that they were not the best ever at each of their respective intruments? Influential, yes, but like calling paul or ringo the best bassist/drummer ever??? Like ever???
small brain: liking older music but shitting on all modern music
big brain: liking older music and also appreciating some modern music
mega brain: acknowledging that there was shit music in every decade, but you just tend to gravitate towards older music

It is BUT!! I think it's even nicer to think of it as a sort of thank you to everyone who cared about hom enough to help him move to a better facility, which is a meaning more likely to be true!
@silentxwaltz
Hey quick thing this drawing was done in approx. 1928 & he was making work for a few years after that so as far as im aware this is not one of his last finished pieces. Hard to say though because so much of his stuff isn't dated haha
Gonna mute this soon bc the notifs are kinda stressing me out haha but if you're at all interested in louis wains life i highly reccomend the book Louis Wains Cats by Chris Beetles, lots of good stuff in there and it's one of few reliable (to my knowledge) sources about him!
Ok so, the nostalgia critic decided to review The Wall... and oh boy do i have some fucking thoughts on that. Surprise surprise, they were the most basic, barely thought through criticisms that don't even understand the film.
@jiminsSlave101

Ppl on tiktok stop reducing louis wains art to the idea that he went crazy and made more fucked up cats (which is mostly bullshit) challenge (impossible)

The beatles voices as colours (this is what i see when i hear them):
John: earthy greens mixed with yellow
Paul: soft pastel blues and purples
George: light green and dark maroon/pink
Ringo: bright orange with a touch of blue
