Wolfsonian-FIU Museum says…

The little pochoirs on view at the Wolfsonian are delightful, precious, and enticing. More commonly referred to as stencils in the States, pochoirs were the products of a more refined technique involving hand-coloring through a series of meticulously cut-out templates. The works were most popular during the fashion and modern interior-design craze in '20s Paris, as exemplified in one of the current shows at the Wolfsonian. Utterly absorbing for any design enthusiast, the exhibit features several original pochoirs from some of the era's most notable artists, including Robert Mallet-Stevens and Eileen Gray.
