Pablo Picasso and Maurice Thorez, leader of the French Communist Party (PCF). Unveiling of mural "The Fall of Icarus" ("La chute d'Icare") 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" ("La chute d'Icare"). Vallauris, 29 March 1958.
