Title: Architectural Rhythm French Modernist Gouache by Guy Nicod

Signed, lower right
Gouache on artist paper, unframed

Description:
A vivid example of mid-century French modernism, this signed gouache by Guy Nicod presents an abstract cubist still life composed of intersecting geometric forms—spheres, ellipses, and angled planes—arranged in a lively, interlocking design. Nicod layers lemons, bowls and table elements into a prismatic construction, allowing colour to carry the composition: citrus yellows and spring greens play against cerulean and ultramarine blues, with warm ochres, oranges and rose tones adding depth. Painted on artist paper with confident, opaque gouache passages, the work captures the spirit of the École de Paris and the post-war return to colour, rhythm and abstract still life. The piece will appeal to collectors of French modernist, cubist and geometric abstraction works, and it sits beautifully alongside interiors seeking a pop of structured colour—ideal above a console, in a study, or as the focal point of a gallery wall. Nicod’s controlled edges, softly gradated highlights and circular motifs create a sense of motion that rewards close viewing, while the hand-drawn border adds studio authenticity. This is a versatile, 20th-century French gouache on paper that balances graphic clarity with painterly charm—an excellent entry point for new collectors and a strong decorative statement for mid-century, contemporary or eclectic schemes. Keywords: French abstract still life, cubist gouache, geometric modernism, mid-century art, colourful wall art, signed French painting, paper work, interior design art.
