Studio d'Arts Décoratifs, 3e Série, Pl. 9, Six Dessins très variés

Ninth plate of the third series of pochoir pattern books, titled "Studio d'arts décoratifs", with Art Deco textile designs created by Nicolas Sorokine and published in Paris by Armand Guérinet, probably in the second half of the 1920s or the early 1930s. The series consists of a title page with index and 12 plates with designs numbered 1-12, each with numerous designs, bound with dark blue linen boards. The designs 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.

This plate consists of six designs of different types. The first design is made up of sunbursts, stylized flowers and grids, colored with brown, green, blue and yellow over a purple ground. The second design is made up of undulating garlands of stylized leaves colored with green and aquamarine and flowers colored with yellow, pink and red over a purple ground. The third design is made up of undulating stripes colored with green and aquamarine, separated by vertical strips of scrolling motifs, over a green ground. The fourth design is made up of zig-zagging lines executed with purple, green and yellow, vertical strips of triangles colored with green and yellow, and dotted square scrolls over a dark purple ground. The fifth design is made up of squares created by chevron motifs, zig-zagging lines, stylized flowers, and branches with leaves and fruits, executed with red, purple and green over a dark reddish-brown ground. The final design is made up of horizontal zig-zagging lines, triangles and stripes, colored with purple, and circles colored with green, red and purple, over a grayish-blue ground.
