Pablo Picasso working on the "War and Peace study" drawings on the wall of Chapelle de la Paix (or Temple de la Paix) for the documentary film of Luciano Emmer. (The panels of War and Peace of 1952 were away on exhibition). Vallauris 1953.
In the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, a shirtless Pablo Picasso stands in profile, hands on hips, contemplating the study drawings for "War and Peace." For a documentary by Luciano Emmer in 1953, the artist recreated the work directly on the chapel walls while the original 1952 panels were on exhibition. In the rustic space, a makeshift table on trestles holds his paint cans and brushes, capturing an unguarded moment of intense concentration.
