During the 1950s and 60s the organisation known as the Paris Peace Movement published a number of prints by Pablo Picasso.
The Paris Peace Movement - also known as Combat Pour La Paix - was a Communist organisation during the height of the Cold
War. It was well known that Picasso was a Communist sympathiser, and as such he would customarily donate an original drawing
to the Peace Movement and give them the authority to print it in a limited edition. Once
printed,
Picasso
would
sign
them
and the Peace Movement was free to sell them. This was PicassoOs method of contributing to the Peace Movement in lieu of money.
