Title: Cubist Gouache French Farmyard Scene With Animals Figures Wine Barrels And Tools
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: fair with age wear, surface creases, and fraying to the sheet edges
Description:
This large-scale gouache by Guy Nicod captures the energy of rural life through a vivid cubist lens, merging agricultural motifs with bold abstraction. On the left, vineyard rows stretch into the distance, where figures harvest grapes and baskets overflow with purple fruit. Oversized wine barrels and a towering press anchor the centre of the composition, highlighting the importance of viticulture in the French countryside.
To the right, a busy farmyard unfolds: tools such as pitchforks and scythes intersect with geometric arcs, while farm animals — including a red cow and a pig — emerge from the angular shapes. Overhead, beams and rafters suggest barns or winemaking sheds, while bright planes of yellow, turquoise, and crimson break the scene into a dynamic rhythm of colour and form.
Nicod’s handling of gouache heightens the drama of the composition, with strong contrasts between deep blues, warm reds, and luminous greens. His ability to reduce the complexity of rural labour into abstract yet recognisable forms places this work firmly within the cubist tradition, recalling the monumental still lifes and landscapes of early 20th-century modernism while adding his own vibrancy and sense of movement.
For collectors, this painting combines multiple high-value themes: French farmyard, vineyard harvest, animals, cubist rural life, and agricultural tools. Its scale and density of detail make it a significant decorative and historical work with strong appeal for both modernist enthusiasts and interior display.
