Louis Wain Exhibition at Brent Musuem

Brent Musuem now has an exhibition on Louis Wain.  A Brondesbury resident, Louis Wain started making anthropomorphic sketches of cats to entertain his wife.  He continued drawing throughout his period of mental illness.  The pictures frequently have cryptic captions, and prefigure the now extensive use of art as therapy.
