About the Item

Artist: After Pablo Picasso Title: Congrès mondial des partisans de la paix (World Congress of Peace Supporters) Medium: Lithograph Poster Year: 1949 Signature: Signed in Plate Dimensions: Unframed 12" x 8.25", Framed 18" x 14" x 1" Condition: Very good with only a barely visible brown mark in bottom right corner. Print has been examined under a microscope. Original Pablo Picasso lithographic poster from April 20th - 23rd 1949, where Picasso interprets the dove as a symbol of peace (la paz). This piece was largely inspired by the Spanish Civil War, which inspired this artwork for the movement of World Congress of Peace Supporters. The Spanish Civil War played a crucial role in Picasso’s outlook. His dealer Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler has stated that Picasso had hitherto been the ‘most apolitical man’ he had ever known: ‘He had never thought about politics at all, but the Franco uprising was an event that wrenched him out of this quietude and made him a defender of peace and liberty.’ (Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler with Francis Crémieux, My Galleries and Painters, London 1971, p.108.) After he painted his famous response to the German bombing of the Basque village of Guernica in 1937, Picasso became a symbol of antifascism and specifically of the struggle against fascism of artists and intellectuals. At the end of the Second World War he joined the Communist Party and attended a number of World Peace Congresses (in Wroclaw, Paris, Sheffield and Rome) between 1948 and 1951. Dove was used to illustrate the poster of the 1949 Paris Peace Congress and became not only the symbol of the Peace Congresses but also of the ideals of world Communism. The Congrès mondial des Partisans de la paix opened in Paris on 20 April. The day before, Picasso’s companion Françoise Gilot had given birth to his fourth child, who was named Paloma, the Spanish word for ‘dove’. At the 1950 Peace Congress in Sheffield Picasso was asked to speak and made a brief speech recounting how his father had taught him to paint doves, which he concluded, ‘I stand for life against death; I stand for peace against war.’ (Quoted in Penrose and Golding 1973, p.205.)
