Kantontwerp van een schulprand voor reticella-techniek in wit op beige karton c. 1920 - 1935

J.H. Pleging-Faber rendered this Kantontwerp van een schulprand voor reticella-techniek, or lace design, in white on beige cardboard. The composition relies on a horizontal orientation, emphasizing symmetry and repetition. The interplay of geometric forms creates a delicate, almost ethereal quality. Notice how circles, stars, and diamond shapes are interconnected by a filigree of lines, giving the artwork a visual lightness. This structured pattern is not merely decorative. It delves into the semiotic realm, where shapes and forms become signs within a cultural code. The design can be seen as a reflection of broader structural principles, each element carefully positioned to create a harmonious whole. It challenges our expectations of form by presenting a design that is both intricate and precise. This reflects the artist's understanding of design as a system of interconnected parts, mirroring the intricate social and cultural structures of its time.
