Architectuurontwerpen c. 1905

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this sketchbook page of architectural designs with a pencil. It’s all about that quick, thinking line. Look at the way Cachet lets his ideas spill onto the page. There’s a raw, improvisational feel. You get the sense that he's not trying to create a finished product, but rather working through ideas. The texture of the paper plays a big role here, it's almost like a stage for these little dramas of the mind. Notice how some lines are darker, more defined, while others are just whispers. It’s like he’s letting us into his thought process, showing us what he’s sure of and where he’s still figuring things out. This reminds me of Cy Twombly's scribbles, the way he turned simple marks into something profound. It’s all about the gesture, the energy, and the openness to whatever might emerge.
