Wonderful large pochoir by Gu Arnoux from the series, Jeux et Divertissements.

The pochoir technique was originally employed for  colouring  woodblock prints in the C15th. Pochoir, used layers of colour to build up the design. As many as thirty stages using  gouache  paints could be employed in one design. Styles were influenced by art movements such as Cubism, Fauvism and the Russian Ballet.
