Chris Beetles: Louis Wain's Cats (2021, Canongate Books) 5 stars

Review of "Louis Wain's Cats" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

An absolutely enthralling collection of cats. There are two avenues of interest in this title, the other being the life of Louis Wain and the historicity of his work in the context of Victorian era, the other being the art, setup here for close examination. I haven't read any of the previous books on Louis Wain's art, but I found this to be very fresh, as it contains much of his work I've never seen elsewhere.
