Ontwerp voor tininleg voor een paneel 1874 - 1945

Here's Carel Adolph Lion Cachet’s design for tin inlay for a panel, made with pen and ink. I am really drawn to the way a design can be realized through trial and error; this work is one of these generative processes. I like to imagine Lion Cachet, pen in hand, conjuring up this botanical pattern of leaves and blooms within a border. The ink is applied with confident strokes, solid shapes are blocked-in that create a bold and graphic image. This to me is what design is; problem-solving with style! Lion Cachet's design speaks to a history of botanical illustration, echoing the decorative arts movements of its time, while pointing towards the clean, efficient lines of modernism. Each generation of artists builds upon the work of those who came before. We bring our own experiences, perspectives, and intuitions to the ongoing conversation that stretches across time.
