Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)

Size: 23 x 19 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France

Description:
A richly expressive modernist still life by Guy Nicod, this dynamic gouache on paper combines bold colour and movement to transform a traditional draped setup into a vivid celebration of form and atmosphere. At the centre of the composition, vibrant folds of blue and yellow fabric cascade across the table, illuminated by an intense autumnal backdrop of orange, red, and ochre tones. Delicate white flowers in glass vases punctuate the scene, lending moments of lightness and rhythm against the richly layered background.
Nicod’s confident brushwork and strong sense of composition place him firmly within the post-war French modernist tradition. The interplay of warm and cool hues, the sculptural quality of the drapery, and the rhythmic energy of the brushstrokes create a compelling sense of depth and movement. The painting blurs the boundary between still life and landscape, evoking both an interior arrangement and the impression of a garden glowing in late-afternoon light.
Collectors of French modernist gouache paintings, vibrant still lifes, and mid-20th century colourist works will find this piece especially appealing. Its powerful palette and expressive execution make it an ideal statement piece for both contemporary and classic interiors, radiating warmth, vitality, and painterly sophistication.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, this 20th-century French gouache exemplifies Nicod’s ability to capture the emotional resonance of colour and form—transforming fabric, flowers, and light into a living, modernist composition filled with energy and grace.
