Title: Abstract Composition in Yellow and Blue French Modernist Gouache by Guy Nicod
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Signed, lower right
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 15.75 x 19.25 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: good; minor edge wear and light toning consistent with age. Gouache surface bright and stable with vivid pigment retention.
Description:
This bold abstract gouache painting by French modernist Guy Nicod exemplifies his dynamic approach to color and form, merging post-cubist geometry with lyrical movement. The composition bursts with saturated yellows, blues, reds, and greens—interlocking planes that pulse with rhythm and tension.
Nicod’s abstraction here feels both architectural and organic, with sweeping curves and faceted shapes that suggest figures in conversation or motion. The artist’s confident use of gouache brings a dense opacity and tactile vibrancy to the work, heightening contrasts between warm and cool tones. The layering of color and the fluid transitions between line and shape evoke a sense of controlled spontaneity—balancing structure with expressive intuition.
Echoing influences from mid-century Parisian abstraction, Nicod’s style sits at the crossroads of Cubism, Futurism, and lyrical abstraction. His work channels the post-war optimism and experimentation of artists such as Léger and Vasarely, while retaining a distinctly human warmth through gestural brushwork and harmonious balance.
Sourced directly from the artist’s estate in France, this signed gouache stands as a striking testament to Nicod’s modernist vision—a celebration of rhythm, color, and compositional energy.

Charles Pulsford ARSA (1912 - 1989)
Abstract Figure in Yellow and Blue
Watercolour and ink with wax resist
56 x 38 cm
Signed lower right.
An abstract figure in arresting colours. The artist plays with the intersection of round and lateral mark-making to form a human figure, perhaps reminiscent of a crucifixion. Pulsford's skill as an abstract landscape artist is also evident here, with the form suggestive of natural and industrial topography like fields, rivers, railway tracks, and electric pylons.
Pulsford was born in Staffordshire to Scottish parents. His family returned to Dunfermline when he was a child, and he subsequently attended Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) between 1933 and 1937. He, along with other prominent Scottish artists, embraced modernism and abstraction following the end of the war. Alan Davie, William...
