Formes et Couleurs, Planche 11

Eleventh plate of pochoir pattern book with loose leaves titled "Formes et Couleurs: Vingt Planches en Couleurs Contenant Soixante-sept Motifs Décoratifs" (Forms and Colors: Twenty Colored Plates Containing Sixty-Seven Decorative Motifs), designed by Auguste H. Thomas and edited by Albert Lévy, published in Paris by Librairie Centrale des Beaux-Arts around 1930. The album is composed of one title page and 20 plates with several designs, numbered 1-20. The plates are stored inside a reconstructed black portfolio with title pochoir label on the front cover. The designs in the album are possibly for 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 consists of four designs with semi-abstract motifs with flowers and leaves. The first design is made up of a large bundle of semi-abstract leaves, colored with shades of green, and stylized fruits, probably peaches, colored with orange, and bunches of grapes, colored with shades of purple and blue, over a violet ground. The second design is made up of interlacing branches with bundles of abstract flowers and leaves, colored with blue, red, and shades of green, over a purple ground. The third design is made up of bundles of semi-abstract roses, colored with shades of purple, and leaves, colored with shades of green and blue, over a mustard-yellow ground with a yellow grid. The final design is made up of a bundle with three large semi-abstract daisies with petals colored with shades of brown and orange, and with pistils colored with green and purple, and with semi-abstract leaves, colored with dark shades of blue, over a purple ground.
