Idées 2, Plate 9

Ninth plate of the second album of a book containing two pochoir pattern albums bound together, titled "Idées 2" (Ideas 2), published ca. 1933 by the Librairie des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and designed by Georges Darcy. 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 two designs with semi-abstract floral motifs executed in bright colors. The first design is made up of bundles of leaves, colored with shades of green, and rosettes, colored with pink and red, over a white background with purple scrolling motifs. The second design is made up of light brown vases with blue decorations, containing branches with semi-abstract leaves, colored with black and shades of purple, over a white ground with orange triangles, with shadows executed in a darker shade of orange.
