During the Cold War, art and the media were used to mobilize minds. In the early 1950s, the USSR and the Communists presented themselves as the camp of peace, in opposition to the Americans, who were developing the H-bomb. In 1949, the PCF developed a pacifist campaign using a dove designed by Picasso. A French politician, Jean-Paul David, head of the "Paix et liberté" agency, organized a counter-campaign using Communist themes and images.
