The dove is often used as the symbol of
peace. It was from the event of the ark of Noah.
After the flood, Noah released a dove
and a crow if the flood was over.
Finally, The dove brought an olive-branch in her
bill.
Through this, Noah noticed the flood was
gone.
In addition to this, Pablo Picasso made a great role of using the dove as a symbol of peace internationally.
In 1940
when Hitler’s soldiers occupied Paris, the capital of France, an old man
Michaux who lived in the next door of Picasso’s house came and told to Picasso
with bringing the bloodstained dove.
In fact,
the grandson of this old man raised many doves.
He used
to manage the doves by fastening an white cloth on the tree.
One day,
the grandson noticed his father was killed in the battle of Paris
The fury
was burning in his heart.
He used
for managing the doves with red cloth because he thought white cloth means
surrender.
However
the conspicuous red cloth was detected by the enemy. The Hitler’s army killed
him with throwing him from the high to bottom cruelly and killed all doves with
the swords.
After
telling this story, Michaux asked Picasso to draw a dove for commemorating his
grandson who was killed by the army of Hitler.
Afterwards,
Picasso drew the flying doves with sadness and fury.
In
November of 1950, He drew the dove with olive-branch with her bill at the world
peace conference.
At that
time, the distinguished MC from Chile called this the dove of peace. Since
then, the dove is the symbol of peace in the world.
