Description:
A refined and atmospheric gouache still life by French modernist painter Guy Nicod, featuring a striking interplay of white drapery, vivid flowers, and soft structural folds. Painted on artist paper, the composition demonstrates Nicod’s masterful control of gouache — balancing opacity and translucency to create depth and movement within a limited palette.
The scene unfolds through layers of muted grey and white fabric, contrasted with flashes of rich red and green blossoms. Subtle tones of orange and ochre emerge from the background, introducing warmth and structure. Nicod’s brushwork alternates between fluid, sweeping gestures and precisely modelled passages, resulting in a composition that feels both sculptural and spontaneous.
This work captures Nicod’s deep engagement with the tradition of still life, reimagined through a distinctly modern lens. The folds of fabric suggest quiet movement, while the bright floral accents lend rhythm and vitality. The balance of cool and warm tones creates a poetic tension, turning the ordinary arrangement into a visual symphony of light and form.
From the artist’s estate in France, this unframed gouache on paper stands as a beautiful example of Nicod’s sensitivity to composition and texture. Ideal for collectors of 20th-century French art, it reflects the artist’s ability to transform familiar subjects into modernist meditations on structure, colour, and emotion.
