Waiting for the unveiling of mural "The Fall of Icarus" for the conference hall of UNESCO building in Paris. The mural is made up of forty wooden panels. Initially titled "The Forces of Life and the Spirit Triumphing over Evil", the composition was renamed in 1958 by George Salles, who preferred the current title, "The Fall of Icarus". Vallauris, 29 March 1958.

A dense crowd gathers on a street in Vallauris on 29 March 1958, waiting with focused anticipation for the unveiling of the mural 'The Fall of Icarus.' Composed of forty wooden panels and destined for the UNESCO building in Paris, the work was originally titled 'The Forces of Life and the Spirit Triumphing over Evil.' The onlookers, a mix of men in suits and women in coats and headscarves, fix their gazes on a point just beyond the frame, their gathering overseen by two French gendarmes.
