In this paper we aim to articulate some ties between schizophrenia and art. For this, we analyze Wain’s pictorial work linked to his life from psychoanalytic reading. Louis Wain was one of the most recognized illustrators in England and his work stands out for focusing on the illustration of anthropomorphized cats. At the beginning Wain's work was characterized by a representation of reality, with the advance of his schizophrenia, his work had been changing until it was considered art brut, qualities of his drawings that for us show the disintegration of his image. In our perspective his paintings are like a mirror that allow us to show how the advance of schizophrenia upsets the body, blurring its forms and limits. While he was doing his work, the drawings were supporting the subject as a sympthome, and he was stable. Art is a creation that can withstands the psyche structure and could maintain the “Four-component Borromean link” by the real, imaginary, and symbolic. The art’s functions are to hide the showing of the clinical symptoms since it can outwit what is imposed on the subject.
