About the Item

Title: Moored Boats and Bare Trees by Riverbank French Pastel Drawing Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Oil pastel on artist paper Size: 23.5 x 19.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: Good – strong colour and surface integrity, minor edge wear consistent with age Description: This striking oil pastel work by French modernist Guy Nicod (1923–2021) features a tightly composed riverside scene, where bold colour and expressive line define a cluster of moored boats beneath a leafless tree. The composition is divided horizontally by a flowing stretch of water, rendered in shades of deep blue and rose, reflecting the sky and distant landscape beyond. In the foreground, several flat-bottomed rowboats lie pulled ashore, their rhythmic forms drawn in dark angular strokes. These vessels appear to nest within the land’s curve, creating a dynamic tension between stillness and movement. At the heart of the composition rises a large tree, its bare branches traced in scarlet and black — evoking early spring or late autumn. The background hints at a village across the water, softened by atmospheric strokes and dusk-like tones. Despite the almost Cubist construction of form and space, the scene remains rooted in lived experience, offering a sense of memory or return. This drawing showcases Nicod’s signature visual language: energetic mark-making, overlapping planes, and a rich palette of earthy ochres, forest greens, and plum reds. It feels both spontaneous and carefully structured, with strong diagonal motion leading the eye toward the centre. A bold and distinctive piece for collectors interested in 20th-century French abstraction, fluvial landscapes, or work at the intersection of modernism and regional observation.
