Decoratief ontwerp met kleuraanduidingen

This decorative design with color indications was made by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, but the exact date is unknown. It’s all about process, right? This drawing on graph paper, it’s so precise, almost architectural. But look at the arabesque shapes inside – these soft, organic forms set against the rigid grid, it’s a beautiful tension. The numbered color key, from white to dark gray, brings a methodical approach that almost reads like a map. Notice how Cachet balances light and dark, creating depth and rhythm? The interplay between the fluid shapes and the controlled structure gives it a unique energy. It reminds me of Hilma af Klint's work, the way she combined geometric abstraction with spiritual content. In the end, it’s the ambiguity and openness that makes art so engaging!
