Who knew schizophrenics were such good artists? Well, I'm no psychologist, but Sylvia Plath.... Hmmm... Here is one for you! You might not have heard of Louis Wain, an unquestionable cat fanatic, loving husband & schizophrenia sufferer. But his is a story of many tails…
He found out that his wife was slowly dying of breast cancer and in an attempt to put a smile on her face & make each day just a little easier – he would draw their household cat Peter. Back in the Victorian era, cats weren’t doted on or remotely considered members of the family at all; they served a purpose of catching mice and keeping the rats at bay but little else.
AS you can see, his work quickly became popular in Victorian England.
