Studieblad, onder andere met zittende mannen en geometrische motieven c. 1905

This drawing by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet feels like a personal conversation with himself, a flurry of ideas jotted down in pencil. I can imagine Cachet in his studio, trying out different patterns and human figures, letting his mind wander and his hand follow. Look at how the geometric shapes and the reclining figures share the same space, almost as if they're in a dance together. Do you think they could inform each other? Maybe the curves of the bodies inspire the lines of the shapes, or vice versa. I love how the swirls at the top are carefully drawn. It reminds me of the sketchbooks of other artists, like Matisse, always searching, always experimenting. It’s like they are whispering to each other across time, sharing secrets and inspiring each other. It shows us that art isn't about having all the answers, but about asking the right questions and allowing for uncertainty.
