This is one of numerous designs that Chwast has made in support of progressive causes during his career. In this poster, his colorful, idiosyncratic design shows the peace dove marching on the legs of five random men and women, distinctively clothed in spots, stripes, and carefully described shoes, suggesting a diverse population united in a single cause. It promotes a 1982 march for peace and justice held in New York City in support of the U.N.’s special session on disarmament; approximately one million protestors attended the event in Central Park.
