About the Item
Title: Abstract Interior with Womens Shoes Colourful French Modernist Gouache
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 24 x 18 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: Good overall. Light handling marks and minor creases around the edges, consistent with age; there is a small tear in the bottom left corner and a repaired tear on the left edge.
Description:
This vibrant and fashion-focused gouache by Guy Nicod depicts an energetic abstract still life filled with women’s shoes arranged across stacked shelves, colourful boxes, and folded fabrics. Boldly rendered high heels in shades of red, purple, turquoise, yellow, and cobalt blue dominate the composition, their exaggerated silhouettes giving the painting a sense of movement and theatricality. The varied shapes and colours suggest a lively wardrobe interior, a boutique display, or a dressing-room scene captured through Nicod’s modernist lens.
Nicod’s expressive brushwork transforms everyday footwear into sculptural, dynamic forms. The shoes appear intertwined with layered fabrics, vertical stripes, and patterned surfaces, creating a rhythmic interplay of texture and colour. Pink, yellow, and red boxes line the lower portion of the painting, reminiscent of stacked shoeboxes or storage shelves, while the darker upper area hints at hanging garments or deeper wardrobe recesses.
The palette combines jewel tones with earthy browns, grounded by accents of white and black that provide contrast and structure. The gouache medium enhances the vibrancy of the colours, giving each shoe a velvety, opaque presence against the richly layered background.
This piece is ideal for collectors drawn to fashion-inspired art, footwear-themed artwork, expressive interiors, and colourful mid-century modernist abstraction. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it offers a striking and contemporary interpretation of the still-life tradition, capturing the personality, glamour, and visual energy of a wardrobe bursting with style.

San Francisco Abstract Expression
A free-spirited wave of creative energy swept through the San Francisco art community after World War II. Challenging accepted modes of painting, Abstract Expressionists produced highly experimental works that jolted the public out of its postwar complacency.
Abstract Expressionism resulted from a broad collective impulse rather than the inspiration of a small band of New York artists. Documenting the interchanges between the East and West Coasts, she cites areas of mutual influence and shows the impact of San Francisco on the New York School, including artists such as Mark Rothko and Ad Reinhardt. San Francisco's Beat poets...

Psychedelic Abstract Interior in Oil on Paper
Moody abstract by Jennie T. Rafton (American, b. 1925). There is a figure in the upper left corner of this piece, looking out over the scene. There appear to be architectural elements such as windows, doors, and stairs, but the composition is highly abstracted, bordering on psychedelic. Of particular note are the symbols inscribed into the yellow shape in the lower left corner.
Inscribed in the lower right corner and acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Presented in a new white mat.
Mat size: 20"H x 16"W
Jennie T. Rafton (American, b. 1925) is a well-known California artist, primarily for her abstract compositions. She and her husband Michael were ardent supporters of the arts, especially the Oakland Symphony Guild.
