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 man and a woman observe the monumental "War and Peace" ("La Guerre et la Paix") mural, a drawing covering the vault of the Temple of Peace in Vallauris, 1961. The highly stylized work depicts a chaotic scene centered on a large, winged horse surrounded by simplified human figures in motion. Positioned in the lower right of the frame, the two seated viewers share a contemplative gaze, directed at the dramatic composition that fills the wall and curved ceiling before them.
