Fresco Painted by Mr. Bo Beskow of Sweden for UN Meditation Room
Caption Description
This photograph is a close-up of the fresco painted by the Swedish artist Bo Beskow for the United Nations Meditation Room at UN Headquarters.
Painted as part of a continuing programme of redecoration, the fresco covers a projected panel approximately 9 feet high and 6-1/2 feet wide, placed slightly in advance of the front wall of the room. The abstract design was painted on wet plaster in blue, white, gray and yellow geometric forms, with light pure colours intersecting to form deeper shades. The painting was designed to conform with the purity of line and colour sought for what Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld has called a room of stillness, where nothing intrudes on those who wish to find stillness. The fresco was made possible by an anonymous donor.
