Pablo Picasso Flowers or Bouquet of Peace original lithograph 1958
Bouquet of Peace (1958) — Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso’s Bouquet of Peace was created in 1958 as a symbol of hope, unity, and peace in the aftermath of World War II and during the tensions of the Cold War. Commissioned for the Stockholm Peace Congress held in July 1958, the artwork was used as a poster to promote the ideals of global solidarity and nonviolence.
The image shows two hands offering a colorful bouquet of flowers, rendered in Picasso’s signature line drawing style. The simple gesture of giving flowers becomes a poetic metaphor for reconciliation and harmony across nations. Unlike more complex or confrontational political art, Bouquet of Peace communicates its message with warmth and optimism.
Originally printed as a color lithograph by the master printer Fernand Mourlot in Paris, many editions were produced on fine Arches wove paper, a high-quality French paper known for its durability and subtle texture. These editions were distributed widely as posters and remain among the most beloved examples of Picasso’s postwar graphic work.
