Studio d'Arts Décoratifs, 3e Série, Pl. 5, Six Dessins à tons très soutenus

Fifth plate of the third series of pochoir pattern books, 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 six designs with semi-abstract floral and geometric motifs in "sustained" colors. The first design is made up of purple scrolling branches with leaves over a dark gray background with undulating vertical lines colored alternatingly with purple and yellow. The second design is made up of triangles, rectangles, ovals and scales colored with blue, red, yellow and tan over a lilac ground. The third design is made up of scrolling leaves colored with green and purple over a dark green ground. The fourth design is made up of overlapping lozenges colored with gray, burgundy and orange over a cream ground and stylized flowers with burgundy and pink petals. The fifth design is made up of scrolling branches with semi-abstract leaves in the shapes of scales, rectangles and lozenges, executed in green, dark gray and purple over an aquamarine ground. The final design is made up of semi-abstract flowers executed with burgundy, purple and shades of blue over a black ground.
