Variations; quatre vingt six motifs d\u00e9coratifs en vingt planches (20th century)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These illustrations by Edouard Benedictus (French painter, writer, composer, and chemist) are done with the pochoir technique. \u00a0Pochoir became popular in the late 19th<\/sup> century and continued up until 1930. \u00a0The technique involves cutting stencils, applying color to the stencil, and then printing it on the desired surface. \u00a0All images are unique, as they are done by hand. \u00a0Benedicuts used a broad range of blues to contrast with the other colors. \u00a0His works are a good example of how blue can be used both boldly and subtly.<\/p>\n
