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 and focused, Pablo Picasso works on study drawings for "War and Peace," painting directly on the wall of the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris. This 1953 session was for Luciano Emmer's documentary film, as the original panels were away on exhibition. Hunched over a cluttered workbench strewn with paint cans and stained rags, the artist holds a can of paint in one hand while dipping a brush with the other, his intense creative process captured in an unguarded moment.
