Title: Vibrant Floral Still Life With Red Gladiolus And Wine Bottles French Modernist
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 19.25 x 13.75 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: good overall, with light handling marks and minor age-related wear consistent with age
Description:
This striking modernist floral still life gouache by French artist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) presents a dramatic arrangement of red gladiolus flowers and wine bottles. Rising tall against a vivid backdrop of cobalt blue and deep burgundy, the blossoms burst into flame-like colour, their elongated stems creating bold vertical accents across the sheet. At the base of the composition, a cluster of dark wine or champagne bottles anchors the scene, interspersed with glowing reds, oranges, and whites that suggest reflected light and abstracted fruit forms.
Nicod’s dynamic use of gouache on paper is particularly effective here, with strong opaque colour blocks layered alongside expressive, gestural brushwork. The saturated palette of scarlet, emerald, gold, and indigo creates a rich contrast, imbuing the painting with vibrancy and a celebratory quality. The inclusion of wine bottles enhances this sense of festivity, evoking themes of conviviality, still life abundance, and the cultural importance of wine in French art and lifestyle.
Echoing the traditions of post-war French modernism, this work balances recognisable subject matter with abstraction, transforming everyday objects into rhythmic patterns of colour and form. Flowers and bottles merge into a harmonious composition that feels both decorative and boldly avant-garde.
Unframed and sourced directly from the artist’s estate in France, this painting is ideal for collectors of modernist floral art, wine-themed still life, or those looking for a vibrant, eye-catching piece to enliven a contemporary interior. It stands as a testament to Nicod’s ability to combine the joy of colour with the richness of French cultural symbolism.

Title: Floral Still Life With Red Amaryllis And Wine Bottles French Modernist Gouache
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 19.25 x 15.5 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: good overall, with light handling marks and minor age-related wear consistent with age
Description:
This bold and dynamic modernist gouache by French artist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) depicts a vibrant still life of red amaryllis flowers arranged alongside a cluster of wine bottles and fruit. The tall, vivid blooms dominate the composition, their scarlet petals set against a richly painted background of cobalt blue, deep burgundy, and emerald green. At the base of the composition, the dark verticals of bottles and the rounded form of fruit anchor the scene, creating a strong sense of balance and depth.
Nicod’s expressive use of gouache on paper brings an immediacy and energy to the piece. Bold brushstrokes and layered passages of colour merge figuration with abstraction, allowing the viewer to focus on the interplay of red, green, and yellow hues as much as on the floral subject itself. The painting captures not only the natural beauty of flowers, but also the celebratory atmosphere suggested by the presence of wine bottles, evoking themes of conviviality and abundance.
Rooted in the traditions of post-war French modernism, Nicod’s floral still lifes combine painterly freedom with structured arrangements. Here, the oversized flowers radiate across the surface with theatrical intensity, while the bottles and fruit add depth and contrast. The work is both decorative and expressive, making it an ideal choice for collectors of French floral painting...
