Pablo 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, Pablo Picasso contemplates a large-scale line drawing on the curved wall. Shirtless and wearing dark shorts, he stands with a hand on his hip before a makeshift work table cluttered with brushes and paint cans. Picasso was recreating these "War and Peace" studies for a documentary film by Luciano Emmer, as the original 1952 panels were away on exhibition. A ladder leaning against the wall emphasizes the mural's monumental scale.
