Title: Nude Woman Bathing French Modernist Figurative Gouache by Guy Nicod
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 18.75 x 15.75 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: good overall with some light handling marks and minor edge wear consistent with age
Description:
his intimate gouache painting by French modernist Guy Nicod depicts a nude woman in a bathtub, captured with both sensitivity and boldness of form. The figure, seated on the edge of a classic freestanding tub, is rendered in earthy tones of pink, ochre, and terracotta, her downward gaze and thoughtful pose suggesting a private moment of reflection. The bathroom interior is defined by planes of green and blue, a curtained window filtering light into the scene and casting subtle shadows across the walls and floor.
Nicod’s handling of gouache demonstrates his command of the medium: transparent washes blend into textured, opaque passages, creating atmosphere and depth. The reflective tiled floor is suggested through patches of violet, yellow, and blue, anchoring the figure in her space while adding a touch of abstraction. The interplay between the cool tones of the background and the warm flesh of the figure heightens the sense of solitude and stillness.
The theme of bathing has a long history in European art, from Degas’ pastel bathers to Bonnard’s intimate domestic interiors. Nicod’s interpretation resonates with this tradition while reflecting the mid-20th century modernist impulse toward simplification and bold colour contrasts.
This work will appeal to collectors of figurative art, modernist nudes, and French post-war works on paper. Its subject matter—intimate yet timeless—makes it a versatile piece for both private collections and stylish interiors. Unframed and ready to present, it offers both decorative impact and historical interest.
