Pablo Picasso with the film crew. Filming of Pablo Picasso working on the "War and Peace study" drawings on the wall of "Chapelle de la Paix." Documentary film by Luciano Emmer. Vallauris 1953.

Pablo Picasso, bare-chested with a striped towel over his shoulders, poses with Luciano Emmer's film crew in the "Chapelle de la Paix" in Vallauris, 1953. The group was filming a documentary on the artist as he worked on his monumental "War and Peace" murals. They stand before one of Picasso's large preparatory line drawings, visible on the smooth, curved wall of the chapel which served as his canvas. The atmosphere is one of informal camaraderie between the artist and his collaborators.
