About the Item
Title: Abstract Geometric Composition in Red Orange and Yellow Modernist Gouache
Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021)
Gouache on artist paper, unframed
Size: 7.25 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 sophisticated geometric abstraction by French modernist Guy Nicod demonstrates the artist’s refined command of balance, proportion, and color harmony. Structured through a series of interlocking rectangles, the composition juxtaposes earthy browns and olive tones with accents of deep red, ochre, and slate grey. The result is both serene and architectural, evoking the quiet strength of early modernist design and the meditative qualities of color-field painting.
Nicod’s choice of gouache allows for a velvety matte finish, with subtle tonal variations that give the surface a tactile warmth. The painting’s careful construction recalls the visual logic of the De Stijl and Bauhaus movements, while its muted palette suggests the influence of natural materials—wood, stone, and clay. Through restrained geometry, the artist achieves an elegant equilibrium between form and emotion.
This work embodies the post-war European fascination with abstraction as a universal visual language. Its understated palette and minimalist rhythm make it ideal for modern interiors, offering both compositional depth and aesthetic calm.
Collectors of French abstraction, geometric modernism, and design-led art will appreciate this work’s versatility and quiet sophistication. Sourced directly from the artist’s estate in France, it exemplifies Nicod’s ability to merge painterly sensitivity with structural discipline.

Abstract Work on Paper Mid-Century Modernism Greek American Gouache Drawing
By Jean Xceron
Located in New York, NY
Abstract Work on Paper Mid-Century Modernism Greek American Gouache Drawing.
A modernist artist who emigrated to America from Greece in 1904, when he was fourteen years old, Jean Xceron is described as having a reputation as an artist that has mysteriously fallen into obscurity---especially since he was reportedly quite prominent during his lifetime. However, a partial explanation of that omission is the fact that many of his papers and early records have been lost. He was a painter of biomorphic abstractions and did collages, which were influenced by Dadaism.
Xceron was active in New York City when modernism was gaining influence. Of him during this period, it was written that his artistic role was "a vital link between what is commonly termed as the first-generation (the Stieglitz group, the Synchromists, etc.) and second-generation, the American Abstract Artists, the Transcendental Painting...
