About the Item

Title: Cubist French Surreal Abstract Composition With Eyes Figures And Geometric Forms Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 19.25 x 22.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good overall with some handling marks and light edge wear to sheet Description: This extraordinary gouache by French modernist Guy Nicod blends cubist geometry with surrealist symbolism in a striking and enigmatic composition. The scene is filled with interlocking forms, bold diagonals, and theatrical colour contrasts. At the centre, trumpet-like golden arms radiate outward from a domed structure, framed by symmetrical wings in deep purple. Large disembodied eyes appear across the composition — one on the left integrated into an arm, another in the right-hand sphere, and a third within a framed box on a checkerboard floor — imbuing the work with a dreamlike and symbolic quality. A radiant stairway of alternating red and yellow bands leads upward into the domed centre, drawing the viewer into the scene. On the right, a red-and-white spiral motif and intricate smaller forms suggest architectural and mechanical detail. At the bottom left, a stylised sword lies diagonally, further heightening the sense of allegory and narrative. Against a background of vivid turquoise and blue, a small bird flies past a glowing orb, reinforcing the surreal atmosphere. Nicod’s handling of gouache produces vibrant saturation and crisp edges, allowing each element to stand out while remaining part of a larger, unified rhythm. The composition is both visually captivating and symbolically rich, drawing inspiration from Cubism, Futurism, and Surrealism. For collectors, this piece offers highly valuable subject matter and keyword-friendly elements: cubist surreal composition, disembodied eyes, checkerboard floor, sword, bird, and geometric abstraction. Its bold palette and layered symbolism make it a compelling choice for collectors of French mid century modern art.
