Picasso: Peace and Freedom

John Lennon said he'd prefer to be remembered as a peacenik than a Beatle. If you feel the same way, a visit to this exhibition from the Tate Liverpool, showcasing Picasso's pacifist side, will be inspirational. Picasso's "Dove of Peace" is featured throughout the website, and several versions of the bird are on display in room 3 of the show, including Hands Entwined III; Dove with Olive Branch, 1961; Dove of Peace (Dove of l'Humanite), 1950; and White Dove on Black Background, 1947. There is also a set of downloadable mp3 audio files discussing the works in the room. The audio files "Dove" details how Picasso's dove came to represent the peace movement, there is even a quote from Picasso himself, in which he says that he doesn't understand how the dove became a peace symbol, since it is an exceedingly cruel bird. Picasso created many versions of the dove, beginning in 1945, and up until his death in 1973.
