Title: Still Life with Blue and Green Foliage French Modernist Gouache
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)

Description:
A radiant and expressive modernist study of foliage by Guy Nicod, this striking gouache on paper celebrates the energy and structure of plant life through bold abstraction and colour. Sweeping strokes of cerulean, ultramarine, and turquoise blue form a dense network of leaves and stems, set against a luminous green and chartreuse background that enhances the sense of light and depth.
Nicod’s confident brushwork and vivid palette reflect the vibrancy of post-war French modernism, transforming a simple botanical subject into a dynamic exploration of rhythm and form. The layered composition suggests a mass of cut branches or flowering plants, rendered with movement and vitality. The interplay of cool and warm tones—deep blues against bright yellows and greens—creates a visual harmony that feels at once natural and abstract.
This piece will appeal to collectors of 20th-century French gouache paintings, modernist still lifes, or artworks inspired by botanical forms and organic structure. Its dynamic colour field and gestural energy make it a powerful yet uplifting presence in any interior.
Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, this French modernist gouache captures Nicod’s distinctive ability to translate nature into expressive colour and movement—turning leaves and light into a symphony of painterly abstraction.
