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.

For a documentary by Luciano Emmer, Pablo Picasso works on the “War and Peace study” drawings at the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, 1953. With the original 1952 panels away on exhibition, he recreates the work directly on the wall. Shirtless and in dark shorts, the artist stands beside a wooden stepladder, his gaze focused on the monumental, black-line figures. A large, whimsical, bird-like creature holding a horn dominates the dynamic composition, capturing a moment of intense, fluid creation.
