It was poet Allen Ginsberg who came up with the term “Flower Power” in his essay “How to Make a March/Spectacle” when he suggested anti-Vietnam war protesters should hand out thousands of flowers to policemen, soldiers and politicians as a symbol of their passive resistance to conflict.

French artist and designer Mister Blick makes a similar anti-war statement with his collages of historic war photographs in which weapons are replaced with giant flowers, and bullets with colorful petals.
