Congreso de los Pueblos por la Paz

In 1952, the people of Vienna celebrated the Congress of the Peoples for Peace, and mexicans artists, including Frida, created works in homage to the congress. As with other paintings, Frida depicted a background of night and day, a perpetual battle between light and dark in the aztec culture. In the middle of both sits the peace dove as a symbol of hope; the words seem to be part of the roots of the tree.

"Give me expectations, hope, the will to live and forget me not"
