Title: Cubist Still Life With Flowers Vase Chair And Book French Modernist Gouache
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)

Description:
This vivid gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod presents an intimate still life reimagined through bold Cubist abstraction. The composition layers domestic objects—a chair painted in radiant yellow, a vase of flowers with tulips spilling over its edge, a rounded bowl, and an open book—into a compressed, geometric space where colour and form collide.
Nicod’s palette is particularly striking here, dominated by warm reds, oranges, and yellows balanced by cooler passages of blue, green, and deep violet. The flowers, rendered with loose brushwork yet anchored in clear outlines, provide a lyrical counterpoint to the more angular treatment of the furniture and vessels. The transparent layering of gouache allows Nicod to create depth and luminosity, enhancing the sense of shifting planes that overlap and intersect in the manner of early 20th-century Cubism.
While rooted in the still life tradition, the presence of the chair and book suggests a human element—a lived-in interior animated by colour, form, and the fleeting presence of daily life. Nicod’s reimagining of ordinary objects elevates them into abstract motifs, resonating with collectors of modernist works who value both technical experimentation and decorative impact.
