Studio d'Arts Décoratifs, 2e Série, Pl. 1, Trois Dessins de Fonds, Coloris nouveaux, Etoiles et Ailes

First 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 three different designs for backgrounds, made up of "new colors", stars and wing-shaped motifs. The first design consists of a variety of semi-abstract star motifs executed with red, dark blue and gray over a mint green ground. The second is made up of semi-abstract red and white rosettes and other types of flowers executed with black, blue, red and purple, over a purplish-gray background with swatches of checked patterns executed with blue and black. The final design is made up of purple lozenges with offsetting red thorns containing semi-abstract flowers (?) executed with red and green and semi-abstract wing motifs executed with shades of green and some red strokes.
