The exhibition's curator Lionelli Venturi wrotes in the catalogue, that there are many unknown works,
"supported by the fact that Picasso personally choiced the works showed in the exhibition" (...accentuato dal fatto che Picasso in persona ha scelto le opere da inviare). (p.11)
Venturi wrotes about the artwork and the motif of the poster "that at first sight it's clear that the ' Peace' is a masterwork (...) Perhaps never a idyl has been created so various and so constant, so sensitive in colours and and so pure in formes." (...che un primo sguardo riceve è che la 'Pace' é un capolavoro (...) Forse non è mai stato creato nel mondo della fantasia un idillio cosí vario e cosí costante, cosí delicato nei colori, cosí puro nelle forme, come 'Pace'.) (p.30)
Venturi admired the 'Peace', and this is the reason that a detail from the 'Peace' became the motif of the exhibition poster.
Wichmann/Hufnagl notice concerning the poster's motif:
"Using a study (ink) from 23.9.1952 to the big painting 'The Peace' (oil on wood), that together with his opposite "The War" has been formed for the chapel in Vallauris." (p.125)
The painting is today in Vallauris, in the Musée National Picasso, La Guerre et La Paix. The dancing woman is part of the peace.
Rodrigo writes concerning the rarity of this poster:
"This poster is very difficult to find." (no.21)
