I only watched the 2nd half because Stacy had already watched the first part and paused. I picked up right about when Foy’s fate was revealed.
FWIW, I studied Wain a bit in Abnormal Psych in college. Art Brut is art by the diagnosed and Wain is a major case (some include Van Gogh too). I’m still fascinated by Art Brut.
I think that gives me a by for skipping the beginning.
It was okay. Benedict does OCD well so that worked. He kinda does what he always does.
I can’t speak to the historical accuracy but the crazier Wain cats were shown at the end as his mental state degraded but I remember it as cyclical in that bipolar sort of way. It was almost 40 years ago when I took AbPsy but it was one of my all time favs in college and I still have that textbook which is decorated in Art Brut.
I liked the end credits where a lot of his art was shown the most.
The kaleidoscopic cats sequence struck me as almost period psychedelia but it didn’t quite work for me. Not sure why.
Now I’m wondering about our D00M artistes here and whether or not we’d be categorized as Art Brut. I kinda hope so.
