Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Oil pastel on artist paper

Description:
This expressive oil pastel by French modernist artist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) captures the rustic geometry of a rural French farmstead set against a backdrop of distant mountains and a wide, cloud-dappled sky. The composition is anchored by two bold tree trunks, their forms stark and skeletal, introducing a sense of natural drama to an otherwise architectural scene.
Clustered rooftops and angular barn-like structures are rendered in richly textured blocks of colour — ochres, navy blues, forest greens, and dusky purples. These create an abstracted patchwork of shadow and light across the landscape, evoking both the warmth of a lived-in rural environment and the shifting moods of the seasons.
In the lower right, a large orange wheel or plough element dominates the foreground, hinting at agricultural life and adding to the sense of narrative. Nicod’s confident use of oil pastel results in a highly tactile surface, with dynamic strokes that echo both the structure of the buildings and the wildness of nature reclaiming space.
This piece exemplifies Nicod’s gift for fusing Cubist and Fauvist influences with an intimate understanding of rural French life. The artist’s signature style — marked by bold outlines, expressive movement, and lyrical abstraction — makes his work increasingly sought after among collectors of 20th-century French modernism.
Ideal for those drawn to scenes of agricultural heritage, colourful landscapes, or mid-century expressionism, this artwork is both a vibrant decorative piece and a fascinating glimpse into post-war rural France.
