Doves are a symbol of peace, but they proved to be a meaningful symbol in Picasso’s life, and the image showed up in many variations in his work. 

His images of the dove became a phenomenon around the world. Between 1949 and the artist's death, he created numerous works, including posters, prints and drawings, which depicted the Dove of Peace. Variations of the image were used for Peace Congresses in Wroclaw, Stockholm, Sheffield, Vienna, Rome and Moscow. Images were distributed around the world by the Peace Movement, creating new momentum for the artist's reputation.

For Picasso, the dove was both an important political symbol and a personal one. It was a reminder of his father, Jose Ruiz y Blasco, who was also a painter and had taught Picasso his early skills as an artist. He had drawn doves in Picasso's childhood home in Málaga in the 1880s. Later in life, when Picasso moved to Cannes in the South of France in 1955, he built a dovecote, allowing him to observe and depict the resident doves.
We found this collection of original vintage posters at the home of a collector in Aix-en-Provence. They were all printed in France by French image publishing company Nouvelles Images, established in 1957. 

Each poster is stamped on the reverse with a corresponding number. 

Please note while each are in good vintage condition, they may have slight signs of wear, including very small/slight creasing along the edges as pictured. 

Sold individually. Two styles of posters available.  


dimensions: 25.25"W x 19.75"H

They have such great products I could not stay away. I don't live near their store so I did not expect to be able to purchase furniture online at a decent shipping rate. I was so happy to see that the shipping rate was amazing and the customer service even better. I highly recommend them and will most likely purchase from them again!
