The pigeon has been recognized as a symbol of world peace since Picasso. In 1940, Hitlers fascist gangsters captured Paris, the French capital. At that time, Picasso was sitting in his studio in a dull mood. At this time, there was a knock on the door. The person who came was his neighbor, the old man Mish. He saw the old man holding a bloody pigeon in his hand and told Picasso a tragic story. It turns out that the old mans grandson raised a group of pigeons. He usually tied a white cloth strip to a bamboo pole as a signal to attract the pigeons. When he learned that his father had died in the battle to defend Paris, hatred and anger arose in his young heart. He wanted the white cloth strips to signify surrender to the enemy, so he used red cloth strips to attract pigeons. The conspicuous red cloth strip was discovered by the German invaders. The inhumane fascist gangsters threw him downstairs and died miserably on the street. They also used bayonets to kill all the pigeons in the pigeon cage. When the old man talked about this, he said to Picasso, "Sir, I ask you to draw a dove for me to commemorate my grandson who was brutally killed by the fascists."
Then, with grief and anger, Picasso drew a flying dove - this was the prototype of the "Dove of Peace". In November 1950, to commemorate the World Peace Conference held in Warsaw, Picasso happily painted a flying dove with an olive branch in its mouth. At that time, Neruda, the famous Chilean poet, called it "the dove of peace." From then on, the dove was officially recognized as a symbol of peace.
