Pablo Picasso checking a camera angle during working on the "War and Peace study" drawings on the wall of Chapelle 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 Vallauris, 1953, a shirtless Pablo Picasso peers intently through the viewfinder of a large film camera. He is checking an angle for Luciano Emmer's documentary, recreating his "War and Peace" studies directly on the walls of the Chapelle de la Paix, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. Surrounded by film crew and equipment under the chapel's arched ceiling, the artist is absorbed in the technical process of filmmaking, his hands cupped around the eyepiece.
