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 is captured mid-sentence, gesturing animatedly while at work in 1953. For a documentary by Luciano Emmer, he draws studies for "War and Peace" directly onto the wall, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. His cluttered workbench, filled with paintbrushes and cans, sits in the foreground, while the large-scale line drawing behind him and a nearby ladder attest to the mural's monumental scope.
