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 view captures the sprawling, Cubist-style mural *War and Peace* ("La Guerre et la Paix") on the vaulted ceiling of the Temple of Peace in Vallauris, 1961. The chaotic composition is dominated by a large, stylized white horse with mournful eyes. To its left, simplified nude figures are depicted in frantic motion with arms raised in alarm. To the right, a small, childlike figure holds a rein, appearing to guide the animal amid a dynamic background of geometric shapes in varying shades of grey and black. A low brick wall is visible in the foreground.
