Title: Seated Nude Woman Modernist Study French Gouache Painting in Bold Primary Colour
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Oil on artist paper, unframed

Description:
A dynamic and richly textured oil painting on paper by French modernist artist Guy Nicod, depicting a seated nude woman in a palette dominated by vibrant reds, yellows, and blues. The composition captures the figure in a moment of introspection, her body partially turned away, bathed in a warm, expressive light. Nicod’s confident impasto brushwork and striking use of primary colours create a sense of sculptural form and emotional immediacy, reflecting the influence of mid-century European modernism and the post-war School of Paris.
Rendered with thick, expressive strokes, the nude’s luminous yellow hair and softly modelled skin contrast against a richly layered background of deep crimson and ultramarine, intersected by geometric colour fields and gestural marks. A vertical panel to the left, inscribed with curling motifs, adds a symbolic or decorative element that enhances the composition’s balance and intrigue.
This piece exemplifies Nicod’s mastery of colour and composition, transforming a timeless subject—the female nude—into a bold, modern study of form, texture, and light. Collectors of 20th-century figurative art will appreciate the work’s painterly surface and vibrant presence, making it ideal for interiors that celebrate expressive, characterful artwork.
Emerging directly from the artist’s estate in France, this oil on paper offers a rare glimpse into Nicod’s studio process and his dedication to exploring the human figure through the lens of modern abstraction and emotional depth.
