LANDOWSKI PAUL: (1875-1961) French Sculptor of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Autograph Statement signed, Paul Landowski, one page, folio, n.p., n.d., in French. Landowski writes, in full, 'War and Peace depend solely upon the Will of Man. Thus War is not, whatever they may say, an ineluctable fate. Peace, however, is a necessity'. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG £100-150 The present statement was prepared for publication in the Pax Mundi book; an anthology of sentiments on peace published in Switzerland by the World League for Peace. Between 1925 and 1932 many notable persons from around the world were asked to comment on the prospects of world peace and the volume included contributions from Marie Curie, Guglielmo Marconi, Albert Einstein, Rabindranath Tagore and many others.
