About the Item

Title: Still Life with Tulips, Lemons and Red Candle French Modernist Gouache Guy Nicod (French 1923 - 2021) Gouache on artist paper, unframed Size: 14.5 x 10.75 inches (height x width) Provenance: Artists estate, France Condition: good overall condition; light handling creases and slight edge toning, upper edge with minor paper perforations; pigments remain vivid and well preserved Description: This elegant modernist still life by Guy Nicod depicts a vase of tulips arranged alongside a bowl of lemons and a tall red candle, set against a backdrop of soft golden tones and a large decorative plate. The scene is composed with balanced geometry and rich, expressive colour, blending the traditions of post-impressionist still life with the structural clarity characteristic of French mid-century painting. Nicod’s use of watercolour and gouache creates a dynamic interplay between transparency and opacity — the tulip petals glow with delicate washes, while the ceramic vase and fruit bowl are rendered in confident, sculptural strokes. The red, yellow, and green accents echo across the composition, lending rhythm and cohesion to the arrangement. Light falls diagonally across the table, carving out forms with subtle chiaroscuro and heightening the sense of quiet interior atmosphere. The work captures Nicod’s deep appreciation for domestic beauty and compositional harmony. While grounded in realism, the angular brushwork and strong colour blocking reveal his modernist sensibility, transforming a simple tabletop arrangement into a study of design, light, and emotion. The reflective surfaces — from the glinting lemons to the soft gleam of the vase — invite close observation and convey a sense of timeless elegance. A refined and decorative work, Still Life with Tulips, Lemons and Red Candle stands as a testament to Nicod’s sensitivity to both form and feeling. Collectors of French modernist and mid-century art will value its rich palette, poised composition, and the artist’s ability to elevate everyday objects into poetic visual statements.
