Idées 1, Plate 12

Twelfth plate of the first album of a book containing two pochoir pattern albums bound together, titled "Idées 1" (Ideas 1), published ca. 1933 by the Librairie des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and designed by Jacques Camus. The album is composed of one title page and 12 plates, numbered 1-12; the book is bound with blue library binding, with the title printed in gold on paper mounted on the front cover. The designs in the albums are possibly for Art Deco textiles and 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.

The plate contains four designs with semi-abstract motifs colored with shades of yellow and orange. The first design is made up of large semi-abstract flowers colored with shades of yellow and orange, the petals outlined with gray, and cream dots of different sizes, over a violet ground. The second design consists of a semi-abstract medieval city-scape, with simplified castles and houses outlined with tan over a sand-colored background with yellow clouds. The third design is made up of a vertical undulating garland colored with tan and outlined with gray, and decorated with silver dots and offsetting cream dots, and a zig-zagging ribbon with bows on the vertices, colored with violet and outlined with gray, over a gellow ground. The fourth design is made up of a large semi-abstract rose and rose buds, colored with orange and outlined with gray and with maroon shadows over an orange background with groups of thin horizontal stripes colored with cream.
