 Pattern |
frippp: Appears in Chris Beetles' 1986 exhibition catalogue: (Dimensions given with height first)
The Eight 'Kaleidoscope' pictures on loan from the Bethlem Royal Hospital, catalogued by Patricia Allderidge. General note: These pictures have been shown together in one amount for many years and were presumably arranged like this by Dr Maclay. Although it is known that he found 'some' pictures by Louis Wain in a shop in Camden Hill it is not certain how many of these were included, and nothing is known of their origin or when any of them were painted. The order in which they are seen here is entirely artificial. 107. PATTERN Coloured pencil and paper 8 7/8" x 6 7/8" It is debatable whether this pattern is based on a cat at all, though taken in sequence with the preceding one it seem to contain the same rudimentary shapes of ears and eyes. (This image also appears in the book upside-down. Since there is no obvious discernible image such as a cat, it is up to the viewers interpretation which direction the image should be viewed in) |

ORIENTAL CAT PATTERN WITH TRIANGULAR EYES Bodycolour on paper 8 7/8" x 6 3/4" This design in particular has a Japanese feel to it and stylistically it recalls the Fin de Siecle period. (note: this image was previously titled "Cat Kaleidoscope VI" on this website) |

SEMI-ABSTRACT CAT PATTERN Bodycolour on paper 8 7/8" x 6 7/8" It is just possible to distinguish a cat theme in this design, though it is unlikely that it would be found if the picture were seen completely out of context (Catland site note: this is obviously a cat idk what theyre talking about) |

ELECTRIC CAT Bodycolour on paper 8 7/8" x 6 7/8" Although the jagged lines in this picture are not necessarily an attempt to symbolise an electric current, it may b e significant that Louis Wain held some very strange views on the subject of cats and electricity. As early as 1898, for example, he had expounded the theory that a cat's main object in washing was to complete an electrical circuit, thus generating heat and a pleasing sensation in the fur. |
