Psychedelic Peace Sign Posters

The first time the now universally recognised peace sign was used was during the 60s and so as a result many peace sign posters also incorporate a touch of the hippy, flower power that brought it to the forefront of it's own cultural movement.

The psychedelic colors that are often used on peace sign posters are also remnants of the 60s and the use of LSD in the hippy drug culture of the time.

Winston Churchill popularised the V gesture during World War II to mean victory, sometime during the 1960s it started to become thought of as a sign for peace.

It's still regularly used in popular culture to mean peace especially by musicians from the 60s classic Brit pop band the Beatles to Irish rockers U2 and inbetween we have seen grunge artists such as Kurt Cobain and rappers such as Eminem use the sign.

Interestingly in Vietnam it actually means hello or hi, which is in a way similar to some science fiction programs and novels where the normal greeting is actually along the lines of peace.

Getting back to peace posters, however, I've found a lovely selection of posters that incorporate what I like to refer to as the peace salute aka the 'v' sign.

One of the other highly recognised sign for peace is the dove, the first piece of artwork I ever brought - that wasn't a poster of some 80s musician - was of a beautiful painting of a dove that instead of being white was like a blue sky of summer with white clouds. Just looking at that painting always brought me peace, unfortunately it was lost ten years ago, but for that painting alone I love the idea of a dove poster!

Of course we all know the story of the dove in the bible with Noah when they brought back an olive branch - the giving of an olive branch is about offering peace so that could be why the dove became known as a symbol of peace. The most decisive reason however was because of Picasso as he designed the lithograph for the international peace congress in Paris in 1949 on which he featured a white dove.

1986 also helped to reinforce this as it was designated the International Year of Peace and the symbol used? Why it was the dove again!
