Title: Yellow Draped Cloth Grey Bottles and Potted Plants French Modernist Still Life
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 24 x 19.5 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France

Description:
This atmospheric gouache still life by Guy Nicod beautifully exemplifies the artist’s talent for transforming everyday domestic objects into expressive modernist compositions. Presented beneath a striking swath of bright yellow drapery, the arrangement of glass bottles, ceramic vessels, and potted plants creates a rhythmic interplay of vertical and horizontal forms. The luminous yellow canopy energises the scene, casting warm light across the clustered bottles below and contrasting powerfully with the cool grey background.
Nicod’s brushwork is both gestural and controlled, shifting between fluid strokes and more defined contours to suggest the reflective surfaces of glass and the textured foliage of the plants. The rich greens and deep terracotta tones of the plant pots punctuate the predominantly grey palette, adding depth and natural warmth. A horizontal band of earthy red, running behind the plants, serves as a subtle compositional anchor and highlights Nicod’s strong sense of balance.
The overlapping vessels — from slender flasks to rounded bottles — demonstrate Nicod’s interest in form, translucency, and the tension between representation and abstraction. While recognisable objects remain at the heart of the composition, the expressive layering and bold colour choices push the painting toward modernist interpretation.
Ideal for collectors of 20th-century French modernism, abstract still lifes, or interior-focused compositions, this work embodies the energetic and imaginative approach typical of Nicod’s late-century oeuvre. Unframed and ready for custom presentation, it offers a sophisticated and visually compelling addition to any collection.
