Gift from Brazil to the United Nations

Two murals entitled "War" and "Peace" were presented to the United Nations in 1957 by Brazil. The murals, each measuring 34 by 46 feet, were painted by the late Brazilian artist Candido Portinari. They are done in oil on six-sheet cedar plywood and are mounted on the east and west walls of the delegates' lobby on the ground floor of the General Assembly building.
