I just found you through "Art Every Day." I really enjoyed your series on Mondrian. The Diebenkorn posts might help me appreciate his work more, and I’d actually never heard of Louis Wain before.
Thank you! Louis Wain is not often discussed. I suppose he would be the Edwardian era's version of Thomas Kinkade: he made popular sentimental pictures. But his latter stuff is weird and I unashamedly like that sort of thing.
Absolutely brilliant curation, William. So insightful viewed this way. Thanks
Had never seen “Composition with Grid” before and for some reason I love it. Love this stuff sir.
I was under the impression Wain had a severe case of taxoplasmosis, possibly complicated with some other neurological disease or disorder.
