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.
Pablo Picasso, shirtless and wearing dark shorts, stands on a wooden A-frame ladder while painting study drawings for "War and Peace." For Luciano Emmer's 1953 documentary film, he works directly onto the wall of the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, as the original 1952 panels were on exhibition. With a brush in one hand and a paint can in the other, he applies a fluid, dark stroke to the expansive composition. The floor below is cluttered with brushes, rags, and open paint cans, the essential tools of his trade.
