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 1953, Pablo Picasso works on a study for “War and Peace” directly on the walls of the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris. With the original 1952 panels away on exhibition, the artist recreated the large-scale line drawing of nude female figures for a documentary film by Luciano Emmer. Rendered in a fluid, minimalist style, the dynamic composition is captured in progress, as indicated by the A-frame ladder in the foreground. The wall itself is paneled, with a vertical seam of small rivets visible.
