Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed

Description:
This vibrant still life by French modernist Guy Nicod captures a vase of dahlias in full bloom, rendered with striking immediacy and expressive colour. Painted in watercolour and gouache, the work reveals Nicod’s talent for balancing structure with painterly freedom — the floral forms burst with vitality against the subdued interior background. Deep crimson, orange, and magenta blooms contrast with the muted greys and browns of the setting, while touches of yellow and green bring the composition to life.
The glass vase, delicately modelled with subtle washes and reflections, anchors the arrangement with a quiet elegance. Beneath it, a richly toned wooden surface and a small blue candlestick introduce geometric accents that offset the organic rhythm of the flowers. Nicod’s confident brushwork and tonal layering suggest both spontaneity and control, evoking the traditions of post-impressionist still life while hinting at modernist restraint.
The painting’s tonal harmony — bright blossoms against a shadowed ground — recalls the balance between nature and interiority central to Nicod’s artistic vision. The use of gouache lends a tactile density to the petals, while watercolour washes create depth and atmosphere, giving the scene both weight and lightness.
A fine example of Nicod’s sensitivity to colour relationships and compositional design, this work will appeal to collectors drawn to mid-century French painting and modernist interpretations of classic still life subjects. Both decorative and contemplative, it demonstrates Nicod’s enduring ability to find poetry in everyday arrangements.
