About the Item
Title: Grapes Wine Bottles Long Serving Platter and Jug Golden Drapery Modernist Piece
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 19.75 x 25.75 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: Good overall condition with light handling marks, slight edge wear, and minor rippling to the paper consistent with age. No tears or structural losses. Colours remain vibrant, especially the yellows and deep blues.
Description:
This warm and atmospheric gouache by Guy Nicod is a striking example of the artist’s richly coloured, expressive approach to the traditional still life. Dominated by glowing golden drapery, the composition highlights an abundant arrangement of fruit, wine, and tableware. A long serving platter stretches across the upper portion of the painting, filled with clusters of pale green and deep indigo grapes. These vibrant fruits reappear in a large, cascading pile at the centre foreground, providing repetition and rhythm within the scene.
To the sides and below, Nicod arranges a selection of wine bottles, a glass decanter, a stoneware jug, and a softly rendered white plate, their shapes emerging through layered, gestural brushwork. The bottles — some in muted greens, others filled with rich red liquid — anchor the composition and add height to the otherwise horizontal spread of objects.
The glowing yellow and ochre backdrop energises the work, contrasting with the cool greens and deep plum tones of the grapes. Nicod’s application of gouache is bold and confident, blending abstraction with recognisable form. Shadows dissolve into colour fields, and the arrangement feels both staged and spontaneously alive.
This painting will appeal strongly to collectors of food and wine still lifes, French modernism, and expressive 20th-century colourist work. With its lush palette and strong sense of atmosphere, the piece captures both the richness of the subject matter and Nicod’s distinctive modernist sensibility. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.

Avant le Déjeuner, by Grégoire Mathias – Still Life with Wine Bottles and Glass
Located in PÉRIGUEUX, FR
Avant le Déjeuner (Before Lunch)
Acrylic on canvas board
16 × 24 cm (without frame)
35.5 x 43.5 x 4 cm (with frame)
Signature: Lower left; also inscribed on verso
Condition: Excellent, presented in a gilded frame
In Avant le déjeuner (“Before Lunch”), Grégoire Mathias creates a playful and vibrant still life where bottles of wine, a glass, and a red-checkered cloth are arranged against the backdrop of the sea. The bold shapes and saturated colors lend the work a festive, almost theatrical quality, echoing the traditions of Synthetic Cubism while infusing it with Mathias’s characteristic rhythm and modern eye.
Painted in acrylic on canvas board, the piece is framed in a substantial gilded frame that enhances its presence. Despite its intimate size, the composition radiates with energy, suggesting both the convivial anticipation of a shared meal and the joy of Mediterranean light.
Signed lower left, this work reflects Mathias’s ability to turn everyday objects into striking compositions of color, balance, and narrative.
