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 stone-walled Chapelle de la Paix in Vallauris, a shirtless Pablo Picasso contemplates his work in 1953. He was creating study drawings for "War and Peace" directly on the wall for a documentary by Luciano Emmer, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. Dressed in dark shorts and sandals, with his hand on his hip, the artist is surrounded by his tools, including a stepladder and a sawhorse table holding brushes and cans. The large-scale line drawing is in progress on the wall behind them.
