War and peace In 1952, in his studio in Vallauris Fournas that Picasso produced a painting - War and Peace - very large. Dealing with a subject which, although directly related to the time of post-war and numerous international appeals for peace in the world, this work retains an undeniably allegorical dimension. Preceded by some 300 preparatory drawings made over the previous months, it necessitated many hardboard panels were erected vertically on a wooden structure designed. The Romanesque chapel of Vallauris The choice of the Vallauris chapel to install War and Peace The two works by Picasso War and Peace are installed in the Vallauris castle chapel in 1959. The choice by Picasso from the chapel to the building of the temple of Peace is part of a rediscovery of the sacred art of movement, which has been an undeniable enthusiasm in the 50s: Matisse completes the decoration of the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence, Chagall- and Bonnard, Léger, Germaine Richier ...- participate in the decoration of the church of Assy, Our Lady of All Grace, and began work on his monumental Biblical Message, he intended initially to another Vence chapel before donating it to the state. Pablo Picasso, aware of the profound symbolism of the place and seduced by the rigorous proportions of the austere building, chose the chapel of Vallauris. The old building helps to give War and Peace, with its obvious references to ancient art and even rock art, sacred and universal anchorage. "It is not very clear in this chapel, says the artist Claude Roy, and I would like do not light, that visitors have candles in hand, they stroll along the walls as in prehistoric caves, discovering the figures, the light moves on what I painted, a small candle light.
