Title: Abstract Architectural Still Life French Modernist Gouache by Guy Nicod
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed

Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: good; very light edge toning consistent with age. Vibrant surface with no losses or fading.
Description:
A striking and dynamic gouache composition by French modernist Guy Nicod, this abstract still life blurs the boundaries between architecture and form. Set against a luminous blue background, Nicod constructs a vivid world of curved vessels, angular planes, and architectural arches — a synthesis of geometry and imagination.
The composition’s rhythm unfolds in overlapping shapes rendered in mustard yellow, emerald green, and deep ultramarine, punctuated by flashes of crimson and violet. Nicod’s approach here feels both architectural and musical, evoking movement and tension within a meticulously balanced design. The bold structural forms recall elements of mid-century Constructivism, while the fluid transitions between planes reveal the influence of Léger and Braque.
Executed in opaque gouache with impeccable control, the piece displays Nicod’s skill in layering and modulation — areas of matte density contrast with softer gradations, lending the work a sculptural luminosity. The result is both cerebral and sensuous: a visual symphony of line, color, and space.
This work exemplifies Nicod’s mature modernist vision — one grounded in observation yet elevated through abstraction — and comes directly from the artist’s estate in France.
