Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd sculpture "Non Violence" 1985 Malmö

When the artist learned that his friend, John Lennon, had been murdered, he became so upset and angry over this senseless death and the many other outbursts of unnecessary violence that he went to his studio and started working on the “non-violence” project. “My first sketches in three dimensions were rather rough and simple, but the important thing was that the idea of the knotted barrel was with me from the very start,” he said.

Much later he wrote that humor was the finest instrument to bring people together. While making his peace symbol, he thought of adding a touch of humor to make his “weapon” symbolically ridiculous and completely out of order.
There´s a replica of this sculpture at the United Nations headquarters in New York .That was a gift from the Government of Luxembourg in 1988.

Hello Joan & Natalia,
Interesting how the sculpture seems to stand without support, defying gravity. You have photographed from a good angle with an excellent, frame-filling composition. Regards,
Hakan

He he, nice art-work :-) Photo has a perfect frame. Maby just colors could be a little bit better. But i like it. Regards, Michael from Poland.

Nice sharpness & POV. Also very interesting notes on the sculpture. I like the natural colors here. Regards. Latiff.

Hola amics,
jo tinc la típica foto al costat de la rèplica a les Nacions Unides a NY, però la veritat és que no havia vist l'original, i ara ho puc fer gràcies a la vostra foto. Aquest és el veritable esperit de TE.
M'agrada com contrasta aquest inútil revòlver davant dels edificis vermells de la ciutat, com a gran símbol que malauradament no funciona massa bé, atès com està el món. El senyal de trànsit i l'arbre que es veuen darrere de l'escultura dónen un contrapunt interessant gràficament.
Ben vista i ben feta.
Una abraçada a tots dos,
Josep

Hallo from Germany!
Often seen, but always again impressive! Including the surroundings works very well here and emphasizes somehow the value of the artwork. A great photo!
Greetings!
