Work by Pablo Picasso, commemorating the World Congress of Defenders of Peace. This was the first meeting of several European member organizations of the Peace Movement, founded a year earlier in August 1948 in Breslau, Poland. The congress was held from April 20 to 25, 1949, in two meetings held in parallel: one in Paris (Salle Pleyel and the closing meeting in Buffalo Stadium); the other, held in Prague, brought together delegates from the Eastern Bloc, who had been denied visas by the French authorities. This Congress marked, in a sense, the true birth of the World Peace Council. Here a piece of the lithograph autographed by the artist. Another piece of the lithograph is also in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
