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.

For Luciano Emmer's documentary film, Pablo Picasso creates study drawings for "War and Peace" directly on a curved wall of the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, 1953. As the original 1952 panels were on exhibition, the artist recreated the work. Confident black outlines render dynamic, intertwined nude figures. In the foreground, a makeshift workstation on sawhorses holds open paint cans, rags, and a collection of brushes, including one with a particularly long handle resting nearby. A tall, paint-splattered ladder leans against an adjacent stone wall.
