Title: Still Life with Garlic Strawberries and Blue Vase French Modernist Gouache
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 24 x 19.5 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: good overall with light handling marks and faint edge wear, consistent with age
Description:
A vibrant and painterly modernist still life by Guy Nicod, this expressive gouache on paper depicts a beautifully composed tabletop arrangement featuring garlic bulbs, bright red strawberries, and a deep blue vase, set against a richly textured backdrop of violet, indigo, and terracotta tones. A white draped cloth anchors the composition, its angular folds catching light and contrasting with the vivid pops of red fruit throughout the scene.
Nicod’s confident brushwork and bold colour palette reflect the hallmarks of post-war French modernism, where structure and spontaneity meet in perfect balance. The interplay between cool and warm tones—particularly the striking harmony of ultramarine blue and crimson red—creates both depth and rhythm. His treatment of the everyday objects imbues them with a poetic quality, elevating the humble ingredients of a kitchen still life into a study of shape, colour, and atmosphere.
Collectors of French modernist still lifes, kitchen and food-themed artworks, or 20th-century gouache paintings will appreciate the rich visual contrast and compositional poise of this work. Its saturated tones make it ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors, offering a timeless celebration of colour, texture, and domestic charm.
Unframed and ready for custom mounting, this French modernist gouache exemplifies Nicod’s unique ability to turn simple, everyday objects into scenes of striking painterly beauty.
