Kerkgebouw 1905 - 1906

This is Carel Adolph Lion Cachet's Kerkgebouw, made with graphite on paper. It's a dance of lines, a quest for form, more about the *trying* than the *telling.* I'm drawn to the quality of the graphite here, how it lies on the page—not assertive, but suggestive. Each line feels like a question, a tentative exploration of space and structure. The texture of the paper peeks through, becoming part of the drawing itself. Look at how the lines don't quite meet, how they hover and imply. It's like a ghost of a building, or a memory of one. This reminds me a little of some of Guston’s pared down drawings, these are also full of searching, restless energy. It's the kind of work that embraces ambiguity and imperfection, reminding us that art is a conversation, not a declaration.
