Portrait: “The Birth of Peace” by Paul Sequeira
Portrait By Paul Sequeira
“The Birth of Peace”
Note from the Publisher
This remarkable and delicate portrait taken in 1970 by Photographer Paul Sequeira during his coverage of the Rock Fest at Kickapoo Creek IL seems to me like a modern day version of Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” . The peace symbol – new and even daring at that time – prompted the title: “The Birth of Peace”.
Paul Sequeira was a Chicago-based photojournalist and free lance documentarian for more than twenty years – late 60s to early 90s. Now retired in Pioneer in his home state of California, Paul is publishing his extensive portfolio to make it accessible to the interested public.
