Fourth series of pochoir pattern books, titled "Studio d'arts décoratifs: Motifs inédits pour toutes Industries d'Art" (Studio of Decorative Arts: Novel Motifs for all Art Industries, with Art Deco textile designs created by Hennequin-Rêveur 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.
