Studio d'Arts Décoratifs, 2e Série, Pl. 10, Huit Dessins de différents genres

Tenth plate of the second series of the pochoir textile pattern book, titled "Studio d'arts décoratifs", with Art Deco textile designs created by Nicolas Sorokine 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 eight designs featuring a variety of abstract and geometric motifs. The first design consists of a grid made with intersecting vertical and horizontal dark bluish-green lines, some with black accents, and vertical stripes with triangles and horizontal lines colored with black and white, over a cream background partially filled with grids made of thin gray lines and with horizontal zig-zagging purple lines. The second design is made up of blue circles, some bordered by groups of red and yellow dots, red half-moon motifs with yellow dots, and parallellograms made up of red lines and small dark blue rectangles over a light blue ground. The third design is made up of abstract black-and-white motifs with scrolling offsets over a white an orange ground, and below it is a design with rows of semi-abstract stars executed with dark bluish-green, purple and orange over an off-white ground. The fifth design consists of a checked pattern where some of the checks are decorated with smaller checks or grids, diagonal lines, or "plaid" lines, executed with gray, purple, green and pink over an off-white ground; this type of pattern can also be seen in a stripe placed on the bottom of the sheet. The next design consists of a checked pattern with green squares over a greenish-white ground, bordered by vertical pink stripes with green roundels filled with abstract motifs. The final pattern consists of a vertical row of rectangles either colored with red and filled with thin gray vertical lines or yellow squares filled with red and green horizontal lines, and a vertical row with rectangles filled alternatingly with small triangles, colored with red or gray, and with larger triangles with stripes, also colored with gray and red.
