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.
Shirtless in dark shorts and sandals, Pablo Picasso contemplates the “War and Peace” study drawings he is creating on a wall of the Chapelle de la Paix. This work, filmed for a documentary by Luciano Emmer, was undertaken in Vallauris in 1953 while the original 1952 panels were on exhibition. Holding a paint can and brush, the artist stands before a makeshift table cluttered with his tools, focused on the fluid lines of the intertwined, stylized figures before him.
