Dove

What it means: Peace; specific religious meanings need explicit context.

Museu Picasso Barcelona records Picasso’s involvement in peace congresses in 1948, 1949 and 1950 and his dove drawings and lithographs supporting peace. This is one documented episode in the modern peace dove’s spread.

Often chosen for: New beginnings & hope · Peace, calm & comfort · Curiosity, creativity & wonder

Respectful use: The original silhouette does not trace Picasso’s art. Do not reproduce protected dove artworks or organizational logos.
