The artwork titled “Blue Cat,” created by the artist Louis Wain in the year 1932, falls under the genre of animal painting and is associated with the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement.
The artwork portrays a close-up of a cat with predominantly blue fur and large, expressive eyes. The coloration of the fur is in varying shades of blue, creating depth and texture, while the background seems to be a blend of green shades, providing a contrasting backdrop that accentuates the cat’s features. The cat’s eyes are particularly striking, rendered in a rich yellow hue that stands out against the cool tones of its fur. The overall composition and choice of colors imbue the piece with a sense of whimsy and charm, characteristics often found in Louis Wain’s depictions of feline subjects.
