Title: Still Life with Artist Workbench Yellow Vase and Hat on Wall French Modernist
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 15.75 x 22.5 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: Good overall with light handling marks and minor edge wear consistent with age.
Description:
A striking and compositionally rich French modernist still life by Guy Nicod, this large gouache on paper offers a rare glimpse into what appears to be the artist’s own creative environment. The composition presents a vivid artist’s workbench, layered with geometric forms that resemble folded papers, sketchbooks, and tools of the studio, alongside a pot of brushes and assorted vessels. Above the scene, a distinctive hat hangs on the wall in the top right corner—an evocative personal detail that transforms the still life into a quiet portrait of artistic life itself.
Rendered in Nicod’s characteristic palette of ochre, crimson, turquoise, and grey, the composition balances structure and spontaneity. A yellow glass vase filled with dried stems anchors the centre, surrounded by angular colour blocks that hint at canvases, paint boxes, and studio materials. The interplay between the precise geometry of the folded forms and the expressive brushwork of the surrounding space creates a dynamic dialogue between order and creativity.
Drawing on the language of Cubism and post-war French abstraction, Nicod infuses this still life with warmth and personality, elevating the tools of art-making into subjects of contemplation. Perfect for collectors of 20th-century French modernism, studio-inspired compositions, or abstract still life painting, this piece embodies both the rigour and intimacy of Nicod’s practice. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it captures the spirit of the modern painter’s studio—alive with colour, rhythm, and the quiet poetry of creation.
