This study was made by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet using graphite on paper. You know, sometimes the most unassuming sketches can unlock a whole world of ideas. What I see here is the ghost of an idea, quickly captured. There's a wonderful economy to the marks, like the circle, not quite perfect, hovering, that implies a clock face. Look at how the lines extend beyond the form, mapping out space. You feel Lion Cachet thinking through the process, not just depicting but building. The texture of the paper itself becomes part of the drawing, creating a soft, almost dreamlike quality. It reminds me a little bit of Agnes Martin’s drawings – the way she used subtle lines to create these expansive, meditative spaces. It's a reminder that art isn't just about the final product, but the journey of its creation.
