French Gouache Street Scene With Market Stalls Shops Figures And Architecture
Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
Title: French Gouache Street Scene With Market Stalls Shops Figures And Architecture
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 19.75 x 25.5 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: fair with age wear, surface creases, and fraying to the sheet edges
Description:
This atmospheric gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod captures the vibrancy of a bustling street market scene. Rendered with expressive brushwork and bold colour contrasts, the composition shows figures moving among market stalls, shopfronts, and delivery vehicles beneath the looming façades of Parisian-style architecture. On the right, a shop sign reading Fruits glows with yellow illumination, highlighting vendors and customers engaged in lively exchange. A truck and silhouetted figures traverse the centre, while the street recedes toward an archway in the distance, anchoring the scene in a distinctly urban setting.
Nicod’s painterly approach here contrasts with his cubist abstractions, revealing his ability to capture movement and atmosphere with a modernist eye. The gouache medium lends a rich matte finish, with vivid blues, yellows, and reds creating striking tonal contrasts against the darker architecture and evening sky. The spontaneity of the brushwork evokes the immediacy of urban life, where commerce and community intersect in daily rhythm.
This work is particularly search-friendly and appealing to collectors of French urban landscapes, market scenes, and Parisian street views. Keywords such as French market painting...

Self Portrait, Charcoal on Paper, 20th Century British Drawing
By William Dring
Located in London, GB
Charcoal on paper
Image size: 4 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches (11.5 x 10.75 cm)
Mounted with a contemporary style frame
This is a somewhat haunting self-portrait by William Dring, crafted in charcoal. Here, Dring presents himself through dark shadow and bright highlights, looking out directly at the viewer with a serious gaze.
Although the Dring has been economical in the use of his marks we are still given plenty of information and can identify the energy in which the strokes of charcoal must have been placed onto the surface.
William Dring
Dring was born with the forenames Dennis William, but was known colloquially as John. He was the brother of the artist James Dring. He married the painter Grace Elizabeth...

Artist biography:
Born in Kyoto, Japan in 1928 Imai was part of the 20th century Japanese avant-garde. He began his formal education at the Tokyo State Art Academy where he took up painting. His early works are characterised by colourful abstractions, reminiscent of Favuism. In 1951 Imai was awarded the Kansai-Shinseisaku Prize and in 1952 the prize for the best new artist at the 15th Shinseisaku Salon.
Imai relocated to Paris in 1953, the same and subsequent year he exhibited at the Salon de L’Art Sacré. Meanwhile, he attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and the Sorbonne to read medieval history and philosophy. In 1955, Imai completely abandoned representational art in favour of abstraction. After meeting the art critic Michel Tapié via the artist Sam Francis, Imai was the first Japanese artist to join the Art Informel movement.
In 1956 Imai was called upon by the Japanese artist Taro Okamoto to curate an exhibition entitled The World: Today’s Art in Tokyo. Artists such as Jean Dubuffet, Jean Fautrier, Lucio Fontana, and Karel Appel gained important exposure in Japan. It was also in 1957, when Imai arranged for Tapié and the artists Georges Mathieu and Sam Francis to travel to Japan, that a connection between Art Informel and Gutai occurred. The Ashiya-based Gutai Art Association formed in 1954 was proclaimed a kindred spirit by Tapié which he subsequently promoted internationally. Founding members included Yoshihara Jiro, Kanayma Akira, Murakami Saburo, Shiraga Kazuo and Shozo...

James Stroudley
Stroudley was born in London on 17 June 1906, the son of James Stroudley, showcard and ticket writer. He studied at Clapham School of Art (1923-27) and then at the Royal College of Art (1927-30), where his teachers included Alan Gwynne-Jones and William Rothenstein. As a recipient of the first Abbey Scholarship he was able to spend three years in Italy from 1930, where he absorbed the influences of Giotto and Piero della Francesca, and produced one of the last wholly satisfying decorative cycles by a Rome Scholar of the period. From 1934, he exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, and was elected to its membership in the following year.
From the Second World War – in which he worked with the Camouflage Unit – Stroudley taught at St Martin’s School of Art and was a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy Schools. Though he continued to live in London, his later work, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1955, indicated regular painting trips to Kent and Sussex coasts. However, much of his later work was abstract. In 1971, his former student, Peter Coker, paid homage to Stroudley by including his work in the exhibition ‘Pupil & Masters’, held at Westgate House, Long Melford, Suffolk.
Stroudley married three times, and his wives included the fashion artist to the Sun newspaper...
