The artwork is an offset print of a poster based on the famous eponymous sculpture by Evgeniy Vuchetich (Евгений Викторович Вучетич, 1908 - 1974), a renowned Soviet sculptor and artist famous world-wide for his heroic monuments, such as The Motherland Calls in Volgograd commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad, Warrior-Liberator in Treptow Park, Berlin, or this allegoric monument, Let's Beat the Swords into Ploughshares, perhaps less widely known as the first two, gifted by the Soviet government to the UN and erected in the garden of its HQ in New York. The phrase was taken from Isaiah 2:4, which describes Mashiach's coming, rejection of animosity and violence, and peace which would then reign in the world.
