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 (right). (The panels of War and Peace of 1952 were away on exhibition). Vallauris 1953.

A shirtless Pablo Picasso stands in the arched doorway of the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, 1953, working on study drawings for "War and Peace." With the original 1952 panels away on exhibition, the artist recreated the work directly on the wall for a documentary by filmmaker Luciano Emmer (right). Clad in dark shorts and sandals, he extends his arm into the vaulted stone interior, his body casting a sharp shadow in the strong sunlight.
