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 bare-chested Pablo Picasso recreates his "War and Peace" study drawings directly on the curved wall, 1953. The original 1952 panels were away on exhibition, so the artist produced these bold, fluid line drawings for Luciano Emmer's documentary film. With a focused expression, he stands among a ladder, paint cans, and a wooden bench, indicating a work in progress.
