Description:
A vibrant and architecturally composed French landscape by modernist artist Guy Nicod, executed in richly layered gouache on paper. The painting depicts a sunlit countryside village, its white church steeple rising elegantly above a cluster of terracotta-roofed houses. In the foreground, trees with soft green and yellow foliage frame the winding hillside, guiding the viewer’s gaze across the rolling terrain towards a tranquil blue horizon.
Nicod’s distinctive modernist approach is evident in his confident use of shape and colour. Planes of pigment overlap in rhythmic harmony, blending the structural discipline of cubism with the lyrical atmosphere of the French countryside. His controlled yet expressive brushwork creates movement and depth, while the gouache medium allows for beautifully opaque, matte textures that enhance the scene’s freshness and immediacy.
The work evokes the pastoral charm of rural France while maintaining a bold, contemporary edge. The church spire, rendered in crisp white and grey tones, acts as a visual anchor amid a landscape alive with colour and pattern. This combination of abstraction and observation typifies Nicod’s mid-century style and his sensitivity to composition.
From the artist’s estate in France, this signed gouache exemplifies Nicod’s gift for translating landscape into geometry and emotion. Ideal for collectors drawn to modern European art, this piece offers a sophisticated yet uplifting statement for interiors, balancing serenity and structure through its modernist vision of village life.
