About the Item

Red Lilies by Louise Alix (French, 1888-1980) *see notes below provenance stamp to the back oil painting on board, unframed measures: 18 high by 13 inches wide condition: overall very good and sound, a few scuffs and marks to the surface and wear to the four corners and surrounding edges all of which are just from age and storage and all help to make up the charm and character of any vintage art work. A beautiful and original painting from France with a fascinating history. The paintings of Louise Alix (1888-1980) have largely lain undiscovered for decades, languishing hidden in and old town house in northern France, until very recently. A young couple acquired a town house to make into their home and were absolutely amazed to discover stored in the dusty old attic a whole treasure trove of paintings by Louise Alix - that had been hidden there for literally decades, unseen by the public all this time. Why this would happen is anyone's guess, but we were delighted to be able to 'awaken' these hitherto lost sleeping treasures and bring them back to life again for the public to enjoy and own themselves. We have several of them and it is a tremendous honor to bring them to you here for sale. Born in Paris in 1888, Louise Alix (painter, decorative artist of landscapes, still lifes and portraits), studied under Yvonne Delattre and Henri Zo. She exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français between 1926 and 1941, receiving a commendation in 1928, the Bernheim de Villiers prize in 1933, and the silver medal for applied arts in 1935. She also occasionally exhibited her work at the prestigious Salon des Indépendants. This large body of work we have acquired, which has laid hidden away in an attic all these years, represents a wonderful opportunity for collectors to acquire such beautiful and original French works, all of which have lain undiscovered and unseen; until now.

Floral Still Life With Red Amaryllis And Wine Bottles French Modernist Gouache
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: Floral Still Life With Red Amaryllis And Wine Bottles French Modernist Gouache Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.25 x 15.5 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good overall, with light handling marks and minor age-related wear consistent with age Description: This bold and dynamic modernist gouache by French artist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) depicts a vibrant still life of red amaryllis flowers arranged alongside a cluster of wine bottles and fruit. The tall, vivid blooms dominate the composition, their scarlet petals set against a richly painted background of cobalt blue, deep burgundy, and emerald green. At the base of the composition, the dark verticals of bottles and the rounded form of fruit anchor the scene, creating a strong sense of balance and depth. Nicod’s expressive use of gouache on paper brings an immediacy and energy to the piece. Bold brushstrokes and layered passages of colour merge figuration with abstraction, allowing the viewer to focus on the interplay of red, green, and yellow hues as much as on the floral subject itself. The painting captures not only the natural beauty of flowers, but also the celebratory atmosphere suggested by the presence of wine bottles, evoking themes of conviviality and abundance. Rooted in the traditions of post-war French modernism, Nicod’s floral still lifes combine painterly freedom with structured arrangements. Here, the oversized flowers radiate across the surface with theatrical intensity, while the bottles and fruit add depth and contrast. The work is both decorative and expressive, making it an ideal choice for collectors of French floral painting...
