Title: Cubist Aviation And Musical Scene With Airplanes Instruments And Abstract Figure
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 14.5 x 21.75 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: Good – strong colour and surface integrity, minor edge wear consistent with age
Description:
This bold and imaginative gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod combines two unexpected themes—aviation and music—within a vibrant Cubist composition. On the left side, angular planes, tail fins, and cockpits are abstracted into fractured geometric forms, with bold accents of blue, red, and yellow suggesting the dynamism of flight. A circular motif resembling an aircraft instrument panel sits at the centre, reinforcing the aviation theme, while the backdrop of open sky adds a sense of momentum and possibility.
On the right, the scene shifts toward music, with a large harp-like instrument dominating the composition. Striking diagonals of strings and wooden frames intersect with brightly coloured drums and cylindrical forms, while hands strum across the structure in rhythmic motion. The juxtaposition of air travel and musical performance creates a unique dialogue between sound and movement, machine and art, in a way that is quintessentially Cubist.
Nicod’s saturated palette of emerald greens, purples, scarlets, and blues heightens the work’s energy, while his fractured forms allow the viewer to experience multiple perspectives simultaneously. This painting would appeal strongly to collectors of Cubist and Futurist-inspired works, as well as those drawn to subjects of aviation history and music. Decorative and thought-provoking, it is a statement piece for modern interiors, creative studios, or cultural settings. With strong SEO descriptors including Cubist aviation, airplanes, musical instruments, harp, Futurist gouache, and French modernist still life, this work is well-positioned to attract collectors searching for bold and unique modernist artworks.
