Description:
This striking still life by French modernist painter Guy Nicod demonstrates his ability to blend domestic subject matter with Cubist abstraction. A collection of bottles, jars, and vessels are arranged across a tabletop, their forms simplified into geometric blocks of colour and shadow. Draped in a vivid red cloth, the central arrangement is framed by a backdrop of angular black and white shapes, creating a dynamic interplay between still life and abstraction.
Nicod’s palette balances bold primary hues—reds, yellows, and blues—with softer purples, greys, and browns, lending both intensity and harmony to the composition. The controlled use of gouache allows for sharp contrasts and layered washes, giving the objects weight while still keeping them within an abstracted framework. This duality of solidity and fragmentation is characteristic of Nicod’s work, where the influence of early 20th-century Cubism is evident yet filtered through his personal modernist sensibility.
The choice of everyday vessels and containers reflects the long still life tradition in European painting, yet here they are reinvented as pure compositional elements. The draped fabric, too, serves not merely as a backdrop but as a vibrant field of colour and form that unifies the work.
