Title: Architectural Rhythm French Modernist Gouache by Guy Nicod
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 15.75 x 20.25 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: good; minor handling marks and light wear to edges consistent with age. Pigments remain vivid and densely layered.
Description:
A striking and meticulously balanced composition by French modernist Guy Nicod, Architectural Rhythm captures the artist’s fascination with geometry, structure, and colour harmony. Executed in rich gouache, the work explores the interplay between solid form and void — a spatial dialogue built from intersecting planes of cobalt blue, ochre, emerald, and crimson.
Nicod’s architectural sensibility emerges through his use of perspective and layering: angular blocks appear to fold and pivot, creating a rhythm that feels both engineered and instinctive. The tactile opacity of gouache intensifies the sense of sculptural volume, lending the piece an almost three-dimensional presence.
Evoking the dynamic legacy of post-Cubist abstraction, this painting demonstrates Nicod’s command of compositional tension and his characteristic synthesis of design and emotion. It’s an image of movement contained — precise yet pulsating with energy.
A powerful statement piece within Nicod’s oeuvre, Architectural Rhythm exemplifies the sophistication and modernist clarity that have made his work increasingly sought after by collectors of mid-century European abstraction.
