Sing to me only with thine eyes
EDITORS COMMENTS
- Louis Wain's Enchanting Feline Muses from the Late Victorian Era (1898) Step into the whimsical world of Victorian England's most beloved and enigmatic artist, Louis Wain, as we explore the captivating image "Sing to me only with thine eyes," a charming depiction of his iconic cats from 1898. Louis Wain, a pioneer in the field of anthropomorphic art, is renowned for his distinctive, humanised cats that evoke a sense of playfulness, emotion, and even a touch of the surreal. In this print, Wain presents a young woman, her eyes closed in rapt attention, as she is serenaded by a chorus of adoring cats. The cats, each with their unique expressions and poses, seem to be in perfect harmony as they sing to their human companion. Their humanised features, from rosy cheeks to expressive eyes, add an endearing quality to the scene, making it an irresistible delight for cat lovers and art enthusiasts alike. The late Victorian era, with its emphasis on sentimentality and the domestic, provided the perfect backdrop for Wain's work. The image of a young woman being serenaded by her feline companions resonated deeply with the public, reflecting the growing trend of keeping pets as cherished members of the family. As you gaze upon this enchanting print, allow yourself to be transported back to the 1890s, where the boundary between human and animal blurred, and the simple pleasure of a cat's song could bring joy to even the most mundane moments. This exquisite print, "Sing to me only with thine eyes," is a testament to Louis Wain's extraordinary talent and his enduring legacy as a master of comical and humorous art.
