Title: Nude Before the Fireplace French Modernist Gouache by Guy Nicod
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Signed, right hand side
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 15.5 x 19.25 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: good; very light edge toning consistent with age. Vibrant surface with no losses or fading.
Description:
In this intimate gouache painting, French modernist Guy Nicod captures a moment of warmth and repose — a nude figure seated before a softly glowing fireplace. The work radiates the quiet sensuality characteristic of Nicod’s post-war period, balancing geometric order with emotional immediacy.
Rendered in rich ochres, greens, and cobalt blues, the composition demonstrates Nicod’s mastery of color harmony and spatial rhythm. The female form is treated with sculptural solidity yet retains a lyrical grace, her relaxed pose echoing the gentle curve of the fire’s arch and surrounding furnishings. The interplay of flat planes and volumetric modeling reflects the artist’s modernist training, revealing an awareness of both Matisse’s compositional economy and Léger’s architectural sensibility.
The domestic setting — a hearth, vases, and paneled walls — transforms into an arena of light and texture. Nicod’s gouache technique, with its layered opacity and painterly immediacy, enhances the glowing atmosphere of the interior scene.
A rare and evocative example from the artist’s exploration of the human form, this painting merges intimacy, abstraction, and warmth with remarkable clarity of vision.

San Francisco Abstract Expression
A free-spirited wave of creative energy swept through the San Francisco art community after World War II. Challenging accepted modes of painting, Abstract Expressionists produced highly experimental works that jolted the public out of its postwar complacency.
Abstract Expressionism resulted from a broad collective impulse rather than the inspiration of a small band of New York artists. Documenting the interchanges between the East and West Coasts, she cites areas of mutual influence and shows the impact of San Francisco on the New York School, including artists such as Mark Rothko and Ad Reinhardt.
