He did not attend school until he was ten and often played truant. In his late teens, Wain attended the West London School of Art and eventually became a teacher at the school. Louis Wain decided to strike out on his own and became a freelance artist. His speciality was drawing animals and rural subjects and he worked for journals such as Illustrated London News and Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. In 1883 Wain married Emily Richardson, his sisters’ governess. Richardson was ten years older than Louis and this caused quite a scandal. She suffered from breast cancer and during this illness she was comforted by their pet cat Peter, who Louis would sketch. Emily died three years later and it is this sad episode that was to define the rest of the illustrator’s career. He continued sketching cats and his first drawing of anthropomorphised cats was published in an Illustrated London News Christmas issue in 1886. His cats would parody humans while he satirised fashion and popular trends of the day. In his early years, the cats generally remained on all fours and were much more naturalistic in their poses; it was only later in his career that he produced cats walking upright with wide eyes and broad smiles, also wearing clothing. Despite his phenomenal output in both postcards, sketches and book illustrations, his mental state was frail and in 1924 was committed to a pauper ward of Springfield Mental Hospital suffering from schizophrenia. He remained in several different institutions, although he carried on sketching cats for pleasure right up until his death in 1939. Provenance.
