Idées 1, Plate 4

Fourth 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 four designs colored with shades of green and blue. The first design consists of vertical zig-zagging stripes made up of dominoes, colored with olive green and outlined with black, and scattered dots, colored with white and aquamarine, over a gray ground. The second design is made up of semi-abstract branches and flowers, colored with aquamarine and outlined with blue, over an olive-green ground. The third design, possibly for a border, is made up of clusters of ovals with offsetting lines that form a scalloped pattern and a semi-abstract bundle of flowers and leaves, colored with aquamarine and with gray and blue accents over a white ground framed by an undulating black line. The fourth design is made up of semi-abstract flowers colored with gran and olive green, with offsetting scrolls, colored with olive green, over a blue ground.
