Ninth 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 six designs with semi-abstract floral motifs. The first design is made up of scrolling branches with semi-abstract peonies and windmills executed with dark purple, red, green and cream over a purple ground. The second design is made up of interlacing garlands with stylized flowers and roses executed with red, blue, green and pink over a light green ground behind a grid made up of intersecting vertical and horizontal lines and horizontal rows of interlacing circles of alternating sizes outlined with brown and colored with white, green and red. The third design is made up of vertical stripes with a chevron pattern partially colored with black and horizontal stripes with chevron pattern partially colored with blue over a light bluish-gray ground with semi-abstract scrolling branches with leaves colored with red and outlined with cream. The fourth design is made up of rows of lozenge frames colored with red and outlined with white containing abstract patterns made with small geometric motifs colored with gray, blue and yellow, over a weft-and-warp pattern executed in gray and yellow over a violet ground. The fifth design is made up of groups of three sstylized flowers executed with white, black and brown over a lilac bakcground with an abstract networkd executed with black and purple. The sixth design is made up of large semi-abstract flowers over a background with interlacing circles and lines executed with green, pastel yellow, red, brown and white over a purple base.
