Picasso’s War and Peace

PICASSO, Pablo; Claude ROY. La Guerre et la Paix. Paris: Editions Cercle D’Art. 1954.

Folio. Publisher’s oatmeal cloth, with orange belly-band printed in black and white, no dust-jacket (as issued), spine and upper board lettered in burgundy; pp. ‘153’ (i.e. 151), [1], [2 (colophon, blank)], with the two large folding plates in pocket to rear board; slightly shaken; else a very good copy.

First trade edition, one of 6000 copies, of this monumental work on Picasso’s enormous two-panel La Guerre et la paix (War and Peace) – even larger than Guernica – for the deconsecrated Romanesque chapel of the the Château de Vallauris, published five years before the chapel was officially opened to the public and instrumental in publicising the work.

There were also one hundred copies of the édition de tête with an original lithograph by Picasso. To accommodate the vaulted ceilings of the deserted chapel – which Picasso aimed to turn into a ‘temple of peace’ – he structured the panels on thirty-two pieces of hardboard. He made over two hundred and eighty preparatory drawings, several of which are reproduced here. Between 1952 and 1959, the installation ‘remained largely unknown. Claude Roy’s book on La Guerre et la paix [...] brought these large panels to wider attention before the chapel’s public opening’ (Forest, trans.).

Jean Cocteau, who saw the work being created in Picasso’s studio at Fournas – along with, amongst others, Françoise Gilot and Claude Roy, author of the present work – wrote that ‘the first impression [of La Guerre et la paix] is that of a nave, a church; it seems that everyone who enters [the studio] takes off their hat. I take off my hat’ (ibid.). Picasso left the drips of paint as they were, arguing that ‘one doesn’t advise an unhappy person to wipe away their tears’.

Goeppert 67. See Forest, ‘Picasso, la guerre et la paix’, in Michel and Vandenbussche eds, L’idée de paix en France et ses représentations au xxe siècle (2018), pp. 349–54.

Not Suitable For Dobermans or Labradors
Size: Large, Size: Large
In reading all of the reviews, it seemed that most dogs were just not interested in chewing the toy. It is suitable for a dog treat inside but my dogs do not have treats in toys, since both are aggressive dog chewers. Upon opening both packages, I thought this is going to be great for both of them. I purchased two, one for each of them. My male 3 year old, 92 pound European Doberman consistently kept his away from the 1 1/2 year old 65 pound female labrador mix, and within one hour we had already had a break in one of the toys. I do not know which one did it!? Nor do I care. Especially when I had to wake up at 2:30 in the morning to the sounds of vomiting dog toy pieces from my girl. Was it the material that caused the vomiting or that the material is not strong enough for an aggressive tour as advertised? Very disappointed.

Dogs love it and so do I
Size: Small
I have small dogs (<20 lbs) and they would chew on these forever if I let them. Never had any pieces break off. While this isn't the hardest toy to clean, it isn't the easiest either. Very worth the money and so much easier to use and safer for them. There's no danger of them breaking or swallowing part of the brush which has happened in the past. I highly recommend this dental toy, especially if your dog tries to chew on the toothbrush when you brush their teeth.

Good Idea, didn't Match Expectations.
Size: Large
Heavy and a bit difficult to 'load.' Maybe too hard for our dog. He did carry it around but didn't try to get treats as well as expected and it's quite difficult to clean. Maybe best for a larger more aggressive dog than a 65 lb. lab mix.
