The artwork titled “THE APPROACH”, created by the artist Louis Wain, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the genre of animal painting.
This particular artwork depicts anthropomorphic cats engaging in what appears to be a game of golf on a lush, expansive landscape. The central figure, dressed in a red kilt, is shown in mid-swing, while the other cats, similarly dressed in period golfing attire, watch attentively. The background features rolling hills and a distant house, adding depth and context to the scene. The detailed rendering and whimsical subject matter are indicative of Louis Wain’s unique style, which often combines everyday human activities with animal characters, encapsulating both creativity and charm characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement.
