Summary

Art and Conversations that change the world. Human Rights artist William Kelly traveled the world talking to writers, artists and academics about the question of art and peace. Can a photograph stop the Vietnam War? Is Picasso's Guernica the most iconic anti-war painting ever? Can art change hearts and minds and in doing so stop a bullet from being fired? "This is for everyone interested in the future of humanity; everyone who has asked themselves why war and conflict have been perpetually with us throughout recorded history." Geordie Anderson, Filmink "An artist is basically on the front line fighting negative forces and trying to create a better world." Professor Sasha Grishin, Art Historian and Curator. "a beautiful portrait and testimony to the power of art in making sense of human experience and building a better future" Professor Tilman Ruff, Co-founder of Nobel Prize winning ICAN. This is the story of the creation of monumental artwork and the inspiration behind it. William Kelly's Peace or War/The Big Picture
