Ontwerp voor een vaas 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this vase design with ink on paper. I can imagine him, lost in the act of creation. It’s all there in front of you: the bold strokes and delicate swirls of black ink, dancing across the page. He’s conjuring a vessel, a thing to hold beauty. The ink, so fluid, so decisive, gives the vase presence, as if it’s emerging from the depths of his imagination. Look at how the ink pools in certain areas, creating depth and shadow, while elsewhere it’s thin and transparent, allowing the paper to breathe through. Each gesture feels intentional, a conversation between the artist, the ink, and the form taking shape. The vase seems both solid and ethereal, a testament to the transformative power of art. It reminds me of other artists grappling with form, like Morandi and his quiet still lifes.
