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). A dove of peace, superimposed on the face of Françoise Gilot, on a shield of a young man. Vallauris 1961.
A detail from Picasso's "War and Peace" mural on the vault of the Temple of Peace chapel in Vallauris, 1961. Rendered with bold black lines, the stylized dove of peace is superimposed on the face of Françoise Gilot. The motif is painted on the textured, shield-shaped surface of a shield held by a young man. Visible, rough brushstrokes give the white background a dynamic appearance, accentuating the dove's angular, V-shaped wings.
