Louis Wain – The 'schizophrenic' pioneer of the modern pet portrait

Katie and Vincent explore the oddities of the creative sphere—this week discussing the pioneering (and rumoured mentally unstable) artist Louis Wain. From developing the 'pet portrait' genre to battling the stigma around mental health in the early 20th century, Louis was a stand out artist of his generation.

Warning, we have long discussions about mental health and cats.
