Idées 1, Plate 5

Fifth plate of the first album of a book containing two pochoir pattern albums bound together, titled "Idées 1" (Ideas 1), published ca. 1933 by the Librairie des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and designed by Jacques Camus. The album is composed of one title page and 12 plates, numbered 1-12; the book is bound with blue library binding, with the title printed in gold on paper mounted on the front cover. The designs in the albums are possibly for Art Deco textiles and 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.

The plate contains three designs colored with orange and shades of gray. The first design is made up of interlacing branches with scrolling stylized leaves and scattered rosettes, executed with two shades of gray over an orange ground. The second design, presented in a semi-circle, consists of cloud motifs colored with tan, one of them emerging from a sort of bowl made up of a gray semi-circle, and decorated with orange scrolling motifs, over a black ground. The final design is made up of curved branches made up of intermittent lines and with semi-abstract flowers made up of spade motifs, colored with silver and with shuttle-shaped orange pistils, over a purple gound with black cloud motifs and an orange half-moon.
