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 low-angle photograph captures a section of Pablo Picasso’s monumental mural, *War and Peace* (*La Guerre et la Paix*), on the vaulted ceiling of the Temple of Peace in Vallauris, 1961. The modernist composition, with its bold outlines and flattened perspective, is dominated by a stylized winged horse. Surrounding the creature are simplified human figures in dynamic poses of action and distress, set against a background of geometric shapes and stylized branches.
