(*) Pablo Ruiz Picasso (b. Málaga, Spain; October 25, 1881 – d. Mougins, France; April 8, 1973), known as Picasso, was a Spanish painter and sculptor who, together with Georges Braque and Juan Gris, created the Cubist movement.
Considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, he took part in the genesis of many artistic movements that spread around the world and had a great influence on other major artists of his time. Tireless and prolific, he painted more than two thousand works, now held in museums and collections throughout Europe and the world. He also explored other genres, including drawing, printmaking, book illustration, sculpture, ceramics, and set and costume design for theatrical productions.
Politically, Picasso described himself as a pacifist and communist. He was a member of the French Communist Party until his death on April 8, 1973, at Notre-Dame-de-Vie (Mougins, France), aged 91. He is buried in the park of the Château de Vauvenargues (Bouches-du-Rhône).

(**) Between 1951 and 1952, Pablo Picasso painted a series of motifs titled “War and Peace” for the “Temple of Peace” in Vallauris, France. “Le bouquet de l’amitié” was created for the peace demonstration held in Stockholm in 1958. It is characterized by an intense display of color and naturally conveys a sense of hope and unity. The bouquet forms a bond between two individuals, symbolized by the two hands shown in the piece. Speaking about this image, Foster states: “In this peace poster, Picasso has replaced the dove with flowers. By using hands grasping the flower stems, he points to the importance of brotherhood and friendship as necessary elements of the piece.”
