Description: 

Dove with Flowering Branches is an authorised colour lithograph published by Editions Art et Paix in association with the Picasso Estate — one of the official publishing programmes through which the Estate has made select works by Picasso accessible to a wider collecting audience. The dove is among the most personally and politically significant motifs in Picasso's entire output: first drawn in 1949 at the request of Louis Aragon for the poster of the First World Peace Congress in Paris, the image became one of the most globally reproduced symbols of the twentieth century, simultaneously an emblem of the artist's communist convictions and a universal icon of peace that transcended any political affiliation. In the version with flowering branches, the dove acquires an additional dimension of natural abundance — the bird of peace surrounded by the growth and colour of the botanical world, optimism made visible.

The lithograph is printed in colours on Arches vellum — one of the most prestigious French fine art papers, associated with the highest standards of lithographic printing — and carries the plate signature of the artist. Published by Editions Art et Paix in association with the Picasso Estate, this is an officially authorised reproduction within the established framework of Estate publishing programmes that have made select Picasso images available in lithographic form.
