Printer: Henry Delacroix using some 8 to 23 stencils for each pochoir platePublisher: Éditions de S. de Bonadona, Paris, FranceAbout the Artist: Henry Delacroix (1907 – 1974) was a renown French architect who both heralded and promoted the arrival of Art Deco design. Starting in 1928, he organized a group of interior designers and architects to draft forward-thinking designs for “a new Art Deco vocabulary.” In 1935, Delacroix published his influential portfolio “Decoration Moderne dans L'Interieur” containing a breath-taking set of forty-eight residential and professional interiors in the Art Deco idiom working in the medium of original color pochoir. About the Process: Pochoir is a stencil-based printing technique popular from the late 19th century through the 1930’s, with its center of activity in Paris. It was primarily used by illustrators and designers during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. At the peak of its popularity in the early 20th century, there were as many as thirty graphic design studios in France using this technique, each employing up to 600 workers. The manual aspect of pochoir has been both one of its most valuable attributes and one of its greatest failures as a printing medium. It is both labor and time consuming, making it an expensive and slow process of printmaking. As a result, techniques such as lithography and serigraphy, mechanized in nature, replaced pochoir as a method of production in the 20th century.
