About the Item

Title: French Village with Steeples and Pine Trees Colourful Pastel Landscape Drawing Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Oil pastel on artist paper Size: 19.75 x 23.5 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: Good – strong colour and surface integrity, minor edge wear consistent with age Description: This vivid and architecturally charming landscape by French modernist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) captures the spirit of a rural Alpine village nestled in rolling hills and pine-dotted terrain. Created in oil pastel on paper, the scene features angular rooftops in hues of lavender, blue, and gold, interspersed with vibrant fields and winding paths. The dynamic composition draws the eye upward to a cluster of church steeples and tall fir trees silhouetted against a bright yellow-green horizon. Executed with confident strokes and vibrant colour contrasts, the work reflects Nicod’s mastery of modernist abstraction. While the village is recognisably French — with its peaked rooftops and clustered chimneys — the surrounding trees and sweeping mountain shapes lend a more mythical, fairytale quality to the scene. The flattened perspective and stylised treatment of the natural elements call to mind the influence of early 20th-century movements such as Fauvism, Expressionism, and Cubism. A single flowering tree in the lower left corner adds a poetic touch, suggesting the arrival of spring and new life in the village below. The layered colour palette — with cool blues, emerald greens, and magentas — creates a rhythmic, almost musical quality throughout the work. Collectors interested in colourful architectural scenes, pastoral French settings, or expressive mid-century modernist drawings will find this piece particularly appealing. It balances nostalgic charm with strong visual energy, ideal for display in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
