End of chaos
The dove is a universal image that has biblical origins.
The dove wisely returns to Noah's Ark carrying an olive branch in its beak, a divine message that the waters have receded and that calm has returned to Earth.
An emblem of peace, the dove originally represented the end of chaos.
A symbol that Pablo Picasso took up after the Second World War, in 1949, for the congress of the World Movement of Partisans of Peace, in Paris. (The Communist Party, organizer of the event, of which the artist was a member, had asked him to imagine a poster for the demonstration).
The image of the dove has since been used as a symbol of peace in many cities in Europe, especially in the countries of the communist bloc (it appeared on stamps), before spreading to the rest of the world.
It is a the strong symbol of peace and freedom.
It has carried a strong message since Antiquity in all its forms.
So Love, peace.
Long live the dove.
A very beautiful poster alteration (?) Thank you Sim for the text of it's historical background 😍🕊️
