Title: Abstract Still Life with Bottles Nuts and Frames 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 with light handling marks and faint edge wear consistent with age
Description:
This richly layered modernist still life by Guy Nicod presents an energetic and visually complex arrangement of bottles, framed artworks, nuts, draped fabrics, and paper labels, all abstracted into rhythmic forms and expressive colour fields. Painted in gouache on paper, the composition centres on a cluster of tall white bottles marked with bold red stripes, surrounded by scattered brown nuts and angular blocks that evoke wrapped parcels or tabletop objects.
Behind these objects stands a dark draped cloth, partially obscuring a set of two framed pictures, which introduce an intriguing play between still life and interior space. Their vivid splashes of blue, green, yellow, and red create the impression of artworks within an artwork — a recurring motif in Nicod’s practice. Tilted frames and slanted surfaces reinforce the sense of tension and movement, transforming the everyday tabletop arrangement into a dramatic and almost theatrical composition.
Nicod’s palette is dominated by earthy ochres, deep blues, olive greens, and muted greys, punctuated by sharp accents of red that draw the eye across the surface. His use of gouache gives the objects a tactile, velvety solidity, while his gestural brushwork keeps the scene dynamic and alive.
Collectors interested in mid-century French modernism, expressive still life painting, studio interiors, or abstract compositions featuring everyday objects will find this piece especially compelling. Unframed and ready for custom presentation, this work highlights Nicod’s ability to fuse domestic detail with striking abstraction, resulting in a richly atmospheric and unique still life.
