Title: Mountain Landscape with Cypress French Modernist Gouache by Guy Nicod
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 15.75 x 18.75 inches (height x width)

Condition: good overall with some light handling marks and minor edge wear consistent with age
Description:
This delicate gouache landscape by French modernist Guy Nicod captures the quiet beauty of a mountainous countryside, composed with an economy of brushstrokes and a sensitivity to colour harmony. At the centre stands a tall, dark cypress tree, its vertical form contrasting with the soft rolling slopes of green and ochre hills beyond. Broad planes of muted colour—earthy browns, sage greens, pale blues, and a striking patch of terracotta red—suggest cultivated fields and rocky outcrops, painted with a modernist restraint that balances representation and abstraction.
Nicod’s gouache technique here is light and atmospheric, allowing the paper’s surface to breathe through transparent washes. The sky is softly modulated with tones of blue, violet, and grey, evoking a fleeting change in weather or the haze of afternoon light. The simplified treatment of forms recalls the post-cubist landscapes of mid-20th century France, where natural scenes were reduced to rhythmic shapes and tonal relationships rather than precise detail.
This landscape evokes the French tradition of plein-air observation while simultaneously situating itself within modernist experimentation. It resonates with the work of artists such as André Lhote and Jean Metzinger, who similarly sought to synthesise geometry with natural forms.
Perfect for collectors of French modernism, gouache works on paper, or 20th-century landscapes, this piece offers both decorative appeal and historical interest. Its subtle palette and meditative composition make it suitable for a wide range of interiors, from minimalist to eclectic.

Trees in a French Country Landscape. Watercolor.
Located in Cotignac, FR
A French watercolour on paper landscape by Roger Decaux. The work is signed and dated (as yet undeciphered) bottom right. Presented in a wood frame with cut card mount.
A fresh and charming view of trees in a landscape. Decaux has used simple, fluid but strong strokes for this composition. One can feel the influence of 'abstraction of form' that was a part of his later work. The eye is drawn from the trees to the surrounding fields, the touches of colour to the right and then to the silhouette of the hills beyond. The use of watercolour at its best.
Roger DECAUX was born in 1919 in Dombasle sur Meurthe in the Lorraine. He studied art in Paris with Gino Severini and Jan Brusselmans...
