War and Peace ("La Guerre et la Paix") drawing on the vault of the Temple of Peace (Temple de la Paix, or Chapelle de la paix). Vallauris 1961.

A detail from the "War and Peace" ("La Guerre et la Paix") drawing on the vault of the Temple of Peace in Vallauris, 1961. In a high-contrast, abstract style, bold white lines define a chaotic and fragmented battle scene. On the left, a horse's head is depicted beside another marked with a "P." The center is a dense collage of forms suggesting a mounted figure holding a lance, while a hand with splayed fingers reaches up from below. The dynamic composition, with its fractured perspective, evokes a sense of intense motion and conflict.
