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 stands shirtless within the stone-walled Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris. With his left hand on his hip, he gazes thoughtfully at a large line drawing in progress. For a documentary by Luciano Emmer, he recreated studies for his "War and Peace" mural directly on the wall, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. A wooden ladder and a cluttered work table on sawhorses attest to the artist's process in the rustic space.
