Title: Cubist Surreal Still Life With Flower Fruit Basket And Architectural Columns
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 18.75 x 26.25 inches (height x width)
Provenance: Artists estate, France
Condition: fair with age wear, surface creases, and fraying to the sheet edges
Description:
This striking gouache by Guy Nicod fuses cubist abstraction with surrealist imagery, creating a bold and visually rich composition. At the heart of the work, a large golden orb dominates the canvas, its surface marked by a blue flower-like motif and expressive circular eyes that imbue the piece with a dreamlike presence. To the left, a woven basket brims with angular forms, while spherical fruit-like shapes provide bursts of vivid red. On the right, architectural columns and draped forms rise into the scene, introducing a sense of grandeur and theatre.
Rendered in luminous tones of cobalt blue, emerald green, golden ochre, and deep crimson, the painting demonstrates Nicod’s mastery of gouache and his ability to balance saturated hues with sharp geometry. The interplay of organic and architectural elements gives the work its unique tension — the flower orb appears almost animate, contrasting with the rigid order of the surrounding pillars and arches.
This painting resonates with collectors interested in cubist still life, surrealist symbolism, and modernist interpretations of nature and architecture. Its surreal quality, with the anthropomorphic flower orb as a central motif, offers a rare glimpse into Nicod’s experimental side, where still life evolves into the fantastic.
For search and buyer relevance: cubist surreal still life, French gouache, flower and fruit motif, basket with fruit, modernist columns and arches. A captivating decorative work, both playful and enigmatic.
