Studio d'Arts Décoratifs..., Pl. 6, Dessins de fantaisie d’un caractère ultra-moderne

Sixth plate of pochoir 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 book consists of a title page with index and 16 plates numbered 1-16, 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 presents several "fantastic designs" with a variety of abstract and geometric patterns executed with different color combinations. Most of the designs present semi-abstract natural motifs with stylized leaves and palmettes, executed with shades of green and brown over green or blue grounds. One of them is made up of vertical stripes with shuttle shapes with alternating white roses flanked by palmette leaves of tan color over a brown ground. Another design contains a checked pattern in the center, made up of small tan squares over a blue ground, framed by four arrow tails of white and tan color that stand in the corners of the design. A final design contains gray shuttle shapes with fragments of red sunbursts over an orange background with square scrolls, undulating lines, sunbursts and small squares, all executed with black, and L-shapes with blue and black checked patterns.
