Ontwerp voor een zitmeubel en tafel c. 1906

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this design for a chair and table, location and date unknown, with graphite on paper. The artist seems to be playing with the idea of ​​furniture as a kind of puzzle made up of geometric figures, as if in a dream. You can almost feel him sketching, correcting, and measuring, trying to materialize what he has in mind. This drawing has the quality of someone like, say, Guston, or maybe Beuys. It is a stream of consciousness in lines. What captivates me most is the way the graphite lines dance on the paper, sometimes secure, sometimes hesitant, as if each line is an act of discovery. His lines offer us a glimpse into his creative process: an intimate dialogue between idea and form, between the functional and the aesthetic. It reminds me that every drawing, every painting, is an ongoing conversation, not just with ourselves, but with all those who came before and will come after us. It's like a thread that connects us in time.
