About the Item

Title: French Modernist Still Life With Wine Bottles Glasses And Wooden Crate Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Watercolour on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.25 x 25.25 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: Good – strong colour and surface integrity, minor edge wear consistent with age Description: This expressive watercolour still life by French artist Guy Nicod captures a rustic arrangement of wine bottles and glasses, unified by the presence of a wooden crate. Rendered in loose yet assured brushstrokes, the scene conveys both spontaneity and structure, echoing Nicod’s interest in Cubist composition and modernist simplification. The central crate, painted in ochres and muted blues, anchors the composition and provides a frame within the frame. Bottles of green and deep red glass, some upright and others reclining, hint at conviviality and the rituals of dining. Two glasses filled with red wine add a note of richness and warmth, while the surrounding drapery and organic tree-like form in the background create a layered, almost theatrical stage for the still life. Nicod’s use of watercolours enhances the transparency of glass and liquid, while earthy washes suggest the patina of age and use. The work bridges tradition and modernism: the subject recalls centuries of European still life painting, yet the fluid execution and subtle geometric structuring reflect a modernist eye.
