Formes et Couleurs, Planche 15

Fifteenth plate of pochoir pattern book with loose leaves titled "Formes et Couleurs: Vingt Planches en Couleurs Contenant Soixante-sept Motifs Décoratifs" (Forms and Colors: Twenty Colored Plates Containing Sixty-Seven Decorative Motifs), designed by Auguste H. Thomas and edited by Albert Lévy, published in Paris by Librairie Centrale des Beaux-Arts around 1930. The album is composed of one title page and 20 plates with several designs, numbered 1-20. The plates are stored inside a reconstructed black portfolio with title pochoir label on the front cover. The designs in the album are possibly for 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 consists of three designs with semi-abstract motifs with flowers and leaves. The first design consists of a large semi-abstract cornucopia, colored with light brown, containing a bundle of scrolling semi-abstract leaves, colored with blue and green, and semi-abstract bundles of small, purple fruits. The second design is made up of overlapping semi-abstract leaves and flowers, executed with orange, gray and shades of purple. The final design is made up of large semi-abstract roses, colored with shades of bluish-gray and orange, and leaves, colored with purple and orange and outlined with bluish-gray, over a tan ground.
