War and Peace ("La Guerre et la Paix") drawing on the vault of the Temple of Peace (Temple de la Paix, or Chapelle de la paix). A dove of peace, superimposed on the face of Françoise Gilot, on a shield of a young man. Vallauris 1961.
A detail of Picasso’s monumental "War and Peace" mural on the vaulted ceiling of the Temple of Peace in Vallauris, 1961. Rendered in a bold, fragmented style, the composition shows a chaotic scene of conflict. At left, a figure holds a shield bearing a dove of peace, its form superimposed on the face of Françoise Gilot. A stylized horse, a large wheel, and two white, upturned hands are visible within the energetic tableau.
