About the Item

Title: Cubist French Abstract Interior Scene With Figures Table And Geometric Shapes Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.5 x 15.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good overall with some handling marks and light edge wear to sheet Description: This rare cubist gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod explores an abstracted interior scene filled with layered geometry and subtle narrative detail. At the centre, a large oval form dominates the composition, its pale tones intersected with angular lines that recall the fragmented approach of Cubism. Around it, the space is broken into overlapping planes of blue, brown, ochre, and grey, creating a rhythm of light and shadow suggestive of walls, drapery, and architectural features. In the lower right, a circular table anchors the scene, set with what appear to be candlesticks, while to its side a group of figures emerges from the faceted forms. Their outlines are softened yet recognisable, hinting at a social gathering or conversation within a domestic or café-like setting. A glowing red sun or light source in the background adds warmth and symbolic resonance, balancing the cooler palette. Nicod’s choice of gouache lends a matte richness to the colours and sharp precision to the geometric edges, emphasising the structural balance of the design. The combination of recognisable subject matter with bold abstraction makes the work both visually engaging and conceptually intriguing. For collectors, this piece offers valuable keyword associations: cubist interior scene, abstract figures, table, oval motif, geometric design, and French gouache painting. Its fragmented style and muted yet vibrant palette reflect Nicod’s ability to merge abstraction with narrative suggestion, making it ideal for collectors of mid century French art and cubist-inspired interiors.
