About the Item

Title: Cubist Gouache Autumn Forest Landscape With Trees And Falling Leaves Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.5 x 12 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: Good – strong colour and surface integrity, minor edge wear consistent with age Description: This striking gouache painting by French modernist Guy Nicod captures the poetic atmosphere of an autumn forest through the lens of Cubist abstraction. At its heart, the work conveys the essence of seasonal change: a woodland of towering trees, their trunks stylised into rhythmic verticals, while large autumn leaves drift across the composition. The palette is rich in earthy reds, russets, and deep greens, with accents of golden yellow and sky blue, evoking the warmth and melancholy of fall. Nicod’s handling of form is distinctly Cubist, breaking down natural elements into overlapping planes that blur the line between representation and abstraction. The forest canopy becomes a patchwork of shapes, while the falling leaves, painted with bold simplicity, float in the foreground as symbolic motifs of time and transition. A bright yellow orb, reminiscent of the moon or a glowing sun, provides a dramatic focal point and illuminates the wooded setting with a surreal glow. Works such as this demonstrate Nicod’s ability to merge natural inspiration with modernist experimentation, creating compositions that resonate with both decorative vibrancy and philosophical depth. Collectors of French Cubist and modernist art will appreciate the balance of geometry and atmosphere, as well as the unusual theme of an abstracted forest scene rendered with poetic intensity.
