Did you know? Although Louis Wain is best known for his later, more stylized and often psychedelic cat illustrations, his earlier work, like "Tabbies in Hyde Park," depicted cats in a more realistic, albeit still anthropomorphic, manner. These early illustrations often featured cats engaged in human activities, but their features were less exaggerated and their settings more grounded in reality. This progression in his style offers a fascinating look at the evolution of his artistic vision and his growing fascination with depicting cats as expressive and almost human-like characters.
