About the Item
Title: Yellow Draped Cloth Bottles Glassware and Potted Plants Modernist Still Life
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 18.25 x 24 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: Good overall with light handling marks and edge wear on the edges consistent with age.
Description:
This expressive modernist still life by Guy Nicod captures the artist’s signature use of colour, rhythm, and bold gestural mark-making. Painted in gouache on paper, the composition brings together a lively arrangement of glass bottles, goblets, vases, and potted plants, all gathered on a glowing yellow tabletop that instantly draws the eye. Above the display, a dramatic sweep of bright yellow drapery cascades across a deep grey background, introducing movement and theatrical tension to the scene.
Nicod’s command of colour is evident in every passage. The interplay between the luminous yellows, cool greys, and earthy reds creates a sense of depth and structure, while the rich green foliage adds a natural counterpoint to the more abstract elements. His brushwork, loose yet intentional, suggests reflections on glass surfaces, the density of ceramic pots, and the soft folds of fabric.
A slender band of warm ochre and brick red runs horizontally across the composition, anchoring the objects and guiding the viewer’s gaze. This subtle yet effective structural device reflects Nicod’s affinity with mid-century French modernism and his interest in balancing spontaneity with compositional clarity.
The work demonstrates Nicod’s ability to elevate simple domestic objects into a sophisticated exploration of colour, light, and form. Collectors drawn to 20th-century French still life, interior scenes, or modernist abstraction will find this painting a compelling example of his mature style. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation, it offers a vibrant slice of post-war French artistic sensibility.
