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.
A shirtless Pablo Picasso stands on a wooden stool, his muscular back to the camera, as he creates studies for "War and Peace" on the curved wall of the Chapelle de la Paix. This 1953 session in Vallauris was for Luciano Emmer’s documentary film, arranged while the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. With charcoal in his raised hand, the artist’s powerful shadow is cast beside the fluid, bold line drawings of nude figures. Paint cans rest on a low ledge in the foreground.
