About the Item
Title: Cubist Nude Study Seated Woman Modernist Charcoal Drawing on Paper
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Charcoal on artist paper, unframed
Size: 25.75 x 17.25 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: fair to good; visible age toning, tape marks, and creasing to the edges, consistent with age and studio handling. The drawing remains strong and stable with no tears to the central composition.
Description:
This dynamic cubist-style nude study by Guy Nicod exemplifies the artist’s fascination with geometry, structure, and the human form. Rendered in expressive charcoal and graphite, the work transforms a seated female figure into a composition of interlocking lines, arcs, and angular planes. Nicod’s confident draughtsmanship and compositional discipline reveal both his technical training and his sensitivity to modernist design principles.
The piece reflects the influence of early twentieth-century French avant-garde movements, particularly Cubism and Purism, where artists such as Fernand Léger and Le Corbusier reimagined the body as a synthesis of form and function. Here, Nicod captures the tension between sensuality and abstraction: the figure’s curves are contained within sharp geometric boundaries, giving the drawing both rhythm and restraint.
The sheet itself bears the marks of the studio—aged paper, tape edges, and faint construction lines—all of which enhance its authenticity and working character. This is a study that invites collectors to see the artist’s process: planning, proportioning, and refining shapes with architectural precision.
Ideal for lovers of modernist figure drawing and mid-century European art, this original work showcases Guy Nicod’s ability to bridge the sensual and the structural. It would frame beautifully in a floating mount, highlighting its sculptural quality and the tactile beauty of its vintage paper. An elegant and rare example of French modernist draftsmanship, sourced directly from the artist’s estate in France.
