Picasso's print is variously titled "Bouquet of Peace,"
"Hands with Flowers," "Hands with Bouquet," "Flowers and Hands," or any
other variation on those words. Originally a watercolor drawing, Picasso
subsequently printed the picture as a color lithograph. He created it
for a peace demonstration in Stockholm, Sweden in 1958.
"Bouquet of Peace" shows his desire for people to join
together in love and harmony. The brightly colored flowers convey a
sense of hope and rebirth, and the bouquet forms a bond between two
individuals symbolized by the two hands displayed within the piece.
The simplicity of the forms not only represents Picasso's desire for
childlike innocence in his art, but also symbolizes the purity and
openness needed to get along with others in peace. (Read more at http://artprep.weebly.com/picasso-bouquet-of-peace.html)
Kindergarten artists looked at Picasso's famous painting noticed that the two hands belong to different people. This means that the flowers are being passed from one person to another.
