Picasso working on the "War and Peace study" drawings on the wall of Chapelle de la Paix (or Temple de la Paix) for the documentary film of Luciano Emmer. (The panels of War and Peace of 1952 were away on exhibition). Vallauris 1953.
In the Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, 1953, a shirtless Pablo Picasso works with intense focus on study drawings for "War and Peace." He recreates the monumental work directly onto the chapel’s curved wall for a documentary film by Luciano Emmer, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. Dipping a wide brush into a can of paint, he stands before a makeshift worktable cluttered with his tools, while behind him, the bold, fluid outlines of stylized figures take shape on the rough-hewn stone.
