Fantasieornamenten, ornamenten met dieren en architectuurstudies c. 1925

This sheet of studies was made by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, it's a collection of ornamenten with dieren en architectuurstudies. I love seeing sketches like these. I feel connected to the artist somehow. It's like you get to glimpse into their mind, as they're working something out. I imagine Lion Cachet sitting at his desk, moving his pencil across the page, exploring different ideas, his hand like an extension of his thoughts. You can see he’s playing with these flowing, organic shapes, mixing them with architectural elements. There’s a real sense of freedom here, as he's not tied to any finished product. You know, all artists look at each other's work, and then put their own spin on it. So, who was Lion Cachet looking at? What did he want to say with these images? What are you going to say? Making art is about being open to the possibilities, letting the work evolve, and seeing where it takes you.
