Ontwerp voor een affiche voor Konings Gist 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet rendered this poster design for Konings Gist with pencil, pen and brush in watercolor. I'm wondering about the physical act of making this piece. It's all about layering, right? I can picture Lion Cachet's hand moving, adding these strokes, building something monumental from the bottom up. It looks like the artist had a clear vision of how to combine linear elements with bold blocks of color. Look at how those stripes sort of bleed into each other. That's not just a mistake; it's like the painting is breathing, expanding beyond its lines. It reminds me a little of Hilma af Klint. Artists are always talking to each other across time, you know? It’s all one big conversation, each adding their own little brushstroke to the story.
