Idées 2, Plate 6

Sixth plate of the second album of a book containing two pochoir pattern albums bound together, titled "Idées 2" (Ideas 2), published ca. 1933 by the Librairie des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and designed by Georges Darcy. 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 two designs with semi-abstract floral motifs, colored with black, white, blue, gray, and bluish-green. The first design consists of a large bundle of semi-abstract flowers and flower-buds, colored with white and blue, and outlined with black, and semi-abstract elongated, undulating leaves, colored with white and gray and outlined with black, over overlapping fragments of large circles, colored with black, white and gray, over a background that is partially rendered with white and black dots, and partially rendered with bluish-green and black dots framed by white, square-edged b-shapes. The second design sonsists of alternating fragments of circles, colored with white and with bluish-green shadows, each containing a bundle of flowers and leaves of the same type of the ones in the first design, over a light gray background with a grid executed with undulating bluish-gray lines, with some black dots; the right side of the design is colored with white and contains, in the middle, a horizontal blue stripe with black scrolling motifs.
