Pigeon 1947

"Pigeon" is a 1947 painting by Pablo Picasso, depicting a white pigeon against a dark brown background. The bird, rendered in a simplified, almost cartoonish style, is a symbol of peace, a theme that resonated deeply with Picasso during the postwar era. The painting's bold colors and expressive brushstrokes are characteristic of Picasso's later period, where he explored a more playful and intuitive approach to artmaking. "Pigeon" embodies Picasso's enduring legacy as a master of modern art and continues to resonate with viewers for its powerful message of peace and hope.
