Studio d'Arts Décoratifs..., Pl. 10, Dessins de différents genres, de couleur sobre

Tenth 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 four designs with semi-abstract natural motifs. The first two are made up of semi-abstract leaves and palmettes colored, in the first, with shades of gray, blue, dark red and mustard-yellow, and in the second with red, pink, purple and shades of blue. The third is made up of semi-abstract rosettes colored with dark brown and dark red, and vertical light green stripes over a blue ground. The fourth is made up of semi-abstract roses executed with shades of red and dark blue, and stylized leaves colored with purple and gray, over a dark gray ground.
