Seventh plate of the fourth series of pochoir pattern books, titled "Studio d'arts décoratifs: Motifs inédits pour toutes Industries d'Art" (Studio of Decorative Arts: Novel Motifs for all Art Industries, with Art Deco textile designs created by Hennequin-Rêveur 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 motifs. The first design consists of small abstract motifs colored with red and ourlined with white over a network of blue interlacing lines with purple stripes inside a frame made up of blue interlacing lines over a lilac background with pink and purple hatches. The second design is made up of interlacing branches colored with dark red and outlined with blue and semi-abstract motifs colored with green with red dots and outlined with blue over a lilac ground. The third design is made up of large semi-abstract roses, scrolling branches and semi-abstract gemstones, all of them colored with blue and outlined with red, over a cream ground. The fourth design is made up of rows of semi-abstract tulips colored with pink, yellor, red and green, and rows of short hatches colored with green to simulate grass, over a blue ground. The fifth design consists of a large stylized kingfisher with black, red and green frathers over a semi-abstract sky made up of horizontal irregular lines colored with blue, gray, white and red.
