Idées 1, Plate 11

Eleventh 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 with various motifs executed with a variety of colors. The first design consists of a large bundle of semi-abstract leaves and small, semi-abstract rosettes, colored with shades of purple and black over a gray ground. The second design is made up of a semi-abstract tree with an undulating trunk colored with gray, cream and black, and semi-abstract oval-shaped leaves colored with bluish-gray and with gray undulating lines, with two large semi-abstract birds standing on its branches, with their wings open, colored with yellow, orange and purple, over a lilac ground with gray dots. The third design is made up of large yellow roundels with female and male figures, outlined with gray and with black details, over a bluish-gray ground with small gray dots with black abstract motifs and flying messenger doves with envelopes on their beaks, executed with white and yellow. The fourth design is made up of large semi-abstract palmettes colored with green, with black borders, and decorated with large orange circles with gray dots and teardrops outlined with gray over a background with a chevron pattern executed with purple and gray.
