Description:
A beautifully observed still life by French modernist Guy Nicod, this watercolour and gouache painting captures an elegant arrangement of calla lilies in a glass jug beside a rustic earthenware vase and a book resting on a patterned cloth. The composition exemplifies Nicod’s ability to balance natural forms with geometric structure — the tall, sweeping leaves and delicate white blooms rise gracefully from the centre, offset by the solidity of the ceramic and the angular placement of the objects around them.
Nicod’s palette here is rich yet harmonious, with soft ochres, mossy greens, and flashes of crimson and yellow energising the composition. The glass jug, rendered with translucent washes, subtly refracts the stems and surrounding colour, demonstrating his sensitivity to light and material. The textured brown vase adds an earthy counterpoint, grounding the scene in tactile realism, while the patterned cloth introduces rhythm and warmth through its abstract interplay of shape and tone.
The work reflects Nicod’s modernist approach to the still-life genre — refined, balanced, and suffused with quiet vitality. His attention to everyday objects elevates them to subjects of formal beauty, echoing the mid-century European sensibility that sought art in the domestic and the observed.
Decorative yet contemplative, Still Life with Calla Lilies and Ceramic Vase reveals Nicod’s mastery of compositional harmony and colour relationships. Collectors of French modernist works on paper will appreciate its blend of clarity and painterly depth — a work that encapsulates the artist’s enduring interest in light, form, and the poetry of ordinary scenes.
