About the Item

Title: Abstract Geometric Composition in Red and Blue Modernist Gouache on Paper Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 7.75 x 5.25 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good; some light edge wear and faint handling marks consistent with age. The surface is clean and the colors remain rich and even. Description: This vivid geometric abstraction by Guy Nicod captures the energy and elegance of French modernist color design. Defined by blocks of crimson red, cobalt blue, and soft turquoise punctuated by a band of rich magenta, the composition radiates rhythm and balance. Nicod’s precise handling of gouache achieves a rich matte texture that enhances both the luminosity and depth of each color field. The work’s architectural clarity and restrained geometry recall the visual language of De Stijl and Bauhaus abstraction, yet Nicod’s palette introduces a distinctly emotional warmth. The juxtaposition of cool blues and warm reds produces a harmonious tension—one that feels both structured and spontaneous. His use of subtle tonal layering and visible edges gives the painting a tactile, handcrafted quality, characteristic of post-war European abstraction. An ideal piece for collectors of mid-century or minimalist modern art, this gouache exemplifies Nicod’s refined approach to composition and chromatic harmony. Its bold geometry and striking contrast make it particularly suited to contemporary interiors, where it can serve as a statement piece of quiet sophistication. Sourced directly from the artist’s estate in France, this work embodies Nicod’s enduring fascination with balance, proportion, and the emotional potential of color.

Geometric Abstract in Blue, Red, Black, and White - Acrylic on Paper
Located in Soquel, CA
Bold and balanced abstract composition by Russell Green (American, 1910-1986). Completed in Green's characteristic style, this piece has a balanced interplay of shapes and colors. Blocks of black, reds, blues, and greys create a strong background. Over the top, lines of black, red, and white outline and divide the background shapes. Signed "Russell Green" in the lower left corner. Presented in a wood frame with a double mat. Frame size: 23.5"H x 30"W Image size: 14.5"H x 22.5"W Russell Davis Green (American, 1910-1986) painter, printmaker and teacher, was born in Traer, Iowa on December 29, 1910. He studied art at Iowa State College and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Green worked in the Illinois and New York Works Progress Administration-Federal Art Projects in the 1930s and two of his woodcuts are listed in the General Services Administration’s book WPA Artwork in Non-Federal Repositories. Green was also a painter and lithographer, and he was included in the Exhibition by Artists of Chicago and Vicinity at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1934. His work was also included in exhibitions at the Philadelphia Art Alliance; Museum of Modern Art and the Grand Central Galleries in New York; and the Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs, 1935. Green began his long teaching career at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri in 1940 and eventually headed the art department. He is represented in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art; Art Institute of Chicago; Metropolitan Museum of Art; Newark Museum; and the St. Louis Art Museum. [After graduating from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1933, he returned to Iowa to begin teaching. In 1935, approximately the time he completed Thanksgiving, he served as a private art teacher in Sioux City. He also had a one-person exhibition of his work at the Sioux City School of Music, Dramatic Art and Dancing, which was located in the Commerce Building. The exhibition included 81 oil paintings, watercolors and prints.] Russell Green 1910 - 1986 A FINE SENSE OF BALANCE — Russell Green started attending college in small town Iowa during an era of unparalleled prosperity in the United States. Yet by the time Green graduated five years later from the Art Institute of Chicago, the Depression had brought the country to its knees economically. In those few years, ending with his Bachelor of Arts, Green had also undergone a personal transformation from a farm boy...
