Edouard Benedictus (1879-1930) was a painter, writer, composer and chemist who started his career in the Art Nouveau period and became one the most famous protagonists of the floral Art Deco. His large pochoir designs display an imaginative geometric elaboration of fields of pure colour, punctuated in places with abstract floral motifs. These prints were made by Jean SaudĂŠ, a French printmaker in Paris, known for his mastery of the pochoir technique. After the analysis of the colour tones and densities of an image, a craftsman known as a dĂŠcoupeur would cut stencils which would then be passed on to the coloristes. The coloristes applied the pigments by hand, using a variety of different brushes and methods of paint application to create the finished pochoir print. This slow and expensive process is characterized by crisp lines and brilliant colours and results in unique prints which remain vivid in both a tactile and visual sense.
