Studio d'Arts Décoratifs, 2e Série, Pl. 11, Cinq Dessins sur Fonds noirs

Eleventh plate of the second series of the pochoir textile pattern book, titled "Studio d'arts décoratifs", with Art Deco textile designs created by Nicolas Sorokine and published in Paris by Armand Guérinet, probably in the second half of the 1920s or the early 1930s. The series consists of a title page with index and 12 plates with designs numbered 1-12, each with numerous designs, bound with dark blue linen boards. The designs contain a variety of geometric motifs, birds and flowers, all typical of the Art Deco style, which was characterized by its eclecticism, drawing from a variety of sources that sought to combine old European design traditions with the modern style diffused by avant-garde art, while also reflecting the romantic fascination with early Egyptian and Meso-American "exotic" cultures promoted by archaeological discoveries of the times.

This plate consists of five designs with semi-abstract floral and geometric motifs over black backgrounds. The first three designs are presented on the same row: the first is made up of circles and triangles colored with purplish-gray and green, the second of semi-abstract flowers and leaves executed with different shades of green, and the third of blue circles and dark green semi-abstract flowers. The remaining two designs are presented on the lower part of the sheet: one with stylized roses executed with green and gray and large stylized leaves outlined with black over a green ground with gray vertical and horizontal strokes, and the other with semi-abstract leaves and bunches of grapes with scrolling offsets colored with gray and green over a black ground.
