Ontwerpen, vermoedelijk voor posters 1928

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made these poster designs, presumably, with pencil and ink. I just love seeing the bones of the creative process, don’t you? It's like catching the artist in the act of thinking. Here, you see a couple of different takes on a poster design, maybe for some public announcement. On the left, a bare-bones pencil sketch with all the corrections and second thoughts still visible. On the right, a bolder, inkier version, starting to resolve some of those initial ideas. I can almost feel Cachet’s hand moving across the page, trying out different lines and shapes. There's a real intimacy to seeing these kinds of works on paper. It reminds you that every finished masterpiece started with someone just doodling and playing around, trying to figure things out. It’s all one big conversation, this art thing. We’re all just riffing off each other, trying to make sense of the world in our own way.
