About the Item

Title: Cubist Harbour Scene With Boats Nets And Fishing Equipment Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 14.25 x 21.25 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: Good – strong colour and surface integrity, minor edge wear consistent with age Description: This large and vivid gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod captures the energy and rhythm of industrial life through a Cubist-inspired lens. Divided into two sections, the composition is filled with interlocking geometric shapes and bold planes of saturated colour. At the left, a dynamic arrangement of red and blue arcs, angular beams, and architectural structures suggests the inner workings of a workshop or foundry. To the right, large cogwheels, pulleys, and mechanical components dominate, their circular forms juxtaposed with vertical columns and factory-like silhouettes on the horizon. Nicod’s palette is striking, with strong contrasts of turquoise blue, crimson, ochre, and deep green that heighten the sense of movement and mechanical force. The abstracted forms of machinery are rendered with the artist’s distinctive Cubist clarity, reducing complex structures into rhythmic arrangements of line, shape, and colour. Though the subject is industrial, the composition is alive with energy and balance, transforming engines and factory architecture into a bold visual symphony. This painting would appeal to collectors interested in Cubist modernism, industrial heritage, and French avant-garde works on paper. Its size and impact make it an excellent decorative statement for contemporary interiors, particularly suited to creative studios, loft spaces, or industrial-inspired environments. With SEO-rich descriptors including Cubist industrial painting, machinery, gears, pulleys, factory scene, and modernist gouache, this piece is highly searchable and desirable for both private collectors and design-led buyers.
