About the Item

Title: Nude Bathers by the River French Modern Oil Painting by Guy Nicod Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Oil on artist paper attached to a board, unframed Size: 16.5 x 19.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good overall; slight surface texture variations and minor edge wear consistent with age; paint layer stable and colours bright Description: An evocative oil painting by French modernist artist Guy Nicod, depicting a group of nude bathers by a riverbank surrounded by lush woodland. The composition captures a moment of quiet intimacy and natural beauty, as figures relax, wash, and converse amidst dappled light and reflections on the water. Painted with loose yet deliberate brushwork, the piece reflects Nicod’s sensitivity to both human form and landscape atmosphere. Rendered in rich tones of green, ochre, and blue, the scene recalls the pastoral sensuality of the post-impressionist and early modern traditions, evoking parallels with Cézanne’s and Bonnard’s explorations of bathing scenes. Nicod’s handling of oil paint brings warmth and immediacy to the figures, whose natural postures and subtle gestures create a sense of shared stillness and human connection. The placement of vibrant red garments hanging from the trees introduces rhythmic accents that guide the viewer’s gaze through the composition. This painting stands as a beautiful example of Nicod’s ability to merge modernist structure with emotional realism. His use of light and colour elevates a simple riverside moment into a study of movement, reflection, and harmony between body and nature. From the artist’s estate in France, this unframed oil on paper is a fine addition for collectors of 20th-century European art, offering a timeless celebration of the human form in landscape and an eloquent expression of Nicod’s modern poetic vision.
