>It is well-documented that students at Royal Holloway believe the painting to be cursed or haunted A legend among students dating back to at least around the 1920s or 1930s, and still held in the 1960s, was that anyone sitting in front of the painting during an exam would fail it. A college tradition requires temporarily covering the painting with a Union Jack when student examinations are ongoing. This originated with an incident during the 1970s where an exam invigilator hurriedly covered the painting with the first thing they could find that would be large enough, as a student refused to sit their exam by the uncovered painting.>The legend of bad luck later developed into an urban myth that a student taking exams had killed themselves after looking at the painting, writing "The polar bears made me do it" onto their exam paper. There is, however, no university record of a death in the picture gallery. The college's curator said in a 2014 interview that "I've heard it was a girl, I've heard it was a boy, I've heard about three [different] ways that they killed themselves."

>>4866215Does anybody know where the fuck I can find Louis Wain's art books and paintings in a resolution that's not made for ants? I love the way he draws cats, but every time I try to get a hold of one of his books or collections it's always behind a paywall or stored in some library in bumfuck USA.
>>4877193https://catland.distin.org/catland's a booru dedicated to his art. don't think they organize based on art books, but there's plenty of high quality scans from people's own collections

>Dating to at least 45,500 years ago, this cave painting may be the oldest depiction of the animal world, and possibly the earliest figurative art (an image that resembles the thing it is intended to represent), yet uncovered.>The painting portrays images of the Sulawesi warty pig (Sus celebensis), which is a small (40–85 kilograms), short-legged wild boar endemic to the island.
>>4890202>(an image that resembles the thing it is intended to represent)>tfw you are a caveman and draw something a thousand years earlier but your drawing is too crappy to be consideredkek

>>4866777>>4866776>>4866774Why is this so deeply disturbing?
I'm sure everyone already knows this story, but this was a series of painting by Louis Wain in the early 1900's as he slowly succumbed to schizophrenia
>>4898387to me it makes the dogs look uncomfortable, like someone strapped those things on to their legs and they clearly aren't used to or don't want to walk like that. Also it makes them more insect like
Finally somewhere to repost this.
>>4900995And the follow up piece.
>>4900825I believe that he had highly functioning autism, instead of schizophrenia.. Wain loved patterns and you can see it in his earlier work too, like his ceramic animals.
>>4901149can autism get worse over time?More from Louis Wane
>>4900825The pictures of his art 'degrading' over the time are just abstract pieces of his lined up in order of intensity. These were found after he passed away, so there's no sure date on when they were made, let alone if they were in chronological order. He had a decline of mental health after a severe head injury, but he was never formerly diagnosed, just labeled as insane.>In 1939, a psychiatrist, Walter Maclay, found some paintings by Wain in a shop in Campden Hill and put them in a sequence that, he claimed, showed evidence of a deterioration in the artist's mental state due to schizophrenia, even though the paintings were not dated.Wain had an interest in patterns and psychedelia, but he could still draw standard cats just fine, all the way to the end of his life. Pic related was something he drew in a hospital before being transferred into an institution.
