Notes:
This color lithograph brings together two recurring and deeply symbolic elements of Picasso’s post-war iconography: the human face and the dove of peace. Created in 1956, the composition reflects Picasso’s continued engagement with themes of reconciliation, humanity, and coexistence during the mid-20th century.
The juxtaposition of dual faces suggests dialogue and shared identity, while the dove serves as a universal emblem of peace, a motif Picasso famously popularized worldwide. Executed with confident line and subtle color harmonies, the work exemplifies Picasso’s mature graphic style and his ability to merge political symbolism with poetic simplicity.
Published by L’Art et la Paix and protected under the Picasso Estate, this lithograph represents both historical importance and strong collectible value.
