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). Far left a dove of peace, superimposed on the face of Françoise Gilot, on a shield of a young man. Vallauris 1961.
The monumental "War and Peace" mural on the vaulted ceiling of the Temple of Peace in Vallauris, 1961. Rendered in a modernist style with bold outlines and fragmented forms, the work contrasts a chaotic scene of conflict with symbols of peace. To the far left, a panel depicts a dove—its form superimposed on the face of Françoise Gilot—held on a shield by a young man above stalks of grain. In the center, stylized warriors and figures on horseback charge forward in a scene of dramatic, graphic struggle.
