Description:
This vibrant and abstracted village landscape by French modernist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) offers a dynamic and richly textural interpretation of rural architecture nestled beneath dramatic mountain terrain. Composed in oil pastel on artist paper, the scene is defined by bold, overlapping shapes and a patchwork of vivid colours — deep greens, cobalt blues, burnt oranges, lilacs, and soft ochres — evoking both the charm and complexity of village life in the French countryside.
In the foreground, an intricate cluster of rooftops forms a near-geometric pattern, punctuated by flashes of light blue and red that suggest windows, tiles, or courtyards. The layered buildings rise into soft rolling fields and towering hills beyond, abstracted into blocks and streaks of warm earth tones and forest greens. A central wall or slope, rendered in golden ochre, bisects the composition horizontally, drawing the eye toward the ridged mountain range and pale sky above.
Nicod’s work here is highly stylised, yet still evocative of place — possibly inspired by the hilltop villages of southern France or the agricultural heartlands of central Europe. The pastel strokes are full of energy, creating movement across the surface while balancing structure and spontaneity.
This piece would appeal to collectors of modernist landscapes, mid-century abstraction, and French post-war art. Its playful tension between form and colour offers a captivating focal point in any interior, and its complexity invites repeated viewing and interpretation.
