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.
Shirtless and intensely focused, Pablo Picasso dips a long paintbrush into a can of paint at the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, 1953. On the wall behind his cluttered work table, he re-creates the "War and Peace study" drawings for a documentary film by Luciano Emmer, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. With a lit cigarette in one hand, the artist brings the fluid, black-lined figures to life against the chapel's rustic stone and brick, offering an intimate glimpse of his creative process.
