Louis Wain is somebody I have only recently discovered, but from what I have read he was an artist who was obsessed with painting cats. What I find interesting is the use of colour and geometric shapes, its almost impossible to imagine how he felt or his reasons for dong what he did, but its also incredibly intriguing. Apparently he had Asperger's syndrome, which gradually got worse over time, causing his work to become more obsessive and colourful.
