Collection "Décors et Couleurs" Album No. 2, Planche 6

Pochoir pattern book, titled "Collection 'Décors et Couleurs' Album No. 2: Soixante-dix motifs décoratifs en dix-huit planches" (Collection 'Designs and Colors' Album No. 2: Seventy decorative motifs in eighteen plates), with Art Deco designs, probably for textiles, created by Jean Burkhalter and published in Paris by Éditions Albert Lévy, probably in the second half of the 1920s or the early 1930s. The book consists of a title page and 18 plates numbered 1-18, each with several designs, bound with dark blue linen boards. The designs contain a variety of geometric, abstract and semi-abstract motifs executed in various colors, some of them including natural-inspired figures such as birds and flowers. All of them are 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 sixth plate of the album presents four designs with semi-abstract floral motifs. The first design is made up of a large semi-abstract flower with petals colored with shades of red and pistils colored with shades of green over a ground that is colored with purple to the left of the flower and with black to the right of the flower. The second design consists of semi-abstract flowers with lilac petals outlines with black and green pistils, over a white ground with black and green dots and purple and black horizontal glitches, and outlined by a black frame. The third design is made up of semi-abstract flowers with lilac petals and green and pink pistils over a background made up of abstract shapes colored with black, white, and shades of purple with black dots and horizontal stripes. The final design consists of large flowers with red and pink petals over a background made up of abstract shapes colored with black and shades of purple with black dots, horizontal stripes and undulating lines.
