Ontwerp voor een prijslijst van de Kolonie Bakkerij te Blaricum c. 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet designed this price list for the Kolonie Bakkerij in Blaricum, but when? The date is not known. I imagine him sketching the design, perhaps over and over, until the lettering and ornamentation took form. Trial, error, intuition - the cornerstones of creativity, and the price of 'Bruinbrood' no less! I sympathize with Lion Cachet - what must he have been thinking when he made this? Maybe he was inspired by the decorative arts of the period. The lettering and flourishes are very painterly. The surface is textured, you can imagine running your fingers over the design. The price list is like a painting that embraces ambiguity, which in turn allows for multiple interpretations. Artists are always in conversation, exchanging ideas and inspiring each other across time. It is the act of making that counts, not what you are making.
