1898 - 1970

Hand of Peace, 1967

Born in Italy, Beniamino Bufano immigrated to the United States when he was three years old, and settled in San Francisco in 1915. A popular figure of the San Francisco art scene, Bufano was well known for his signature Modern style and large-scale sculptures. Bufano's work can be found throughout Northern California. Hand of Peace is a testament to Bufano's lifelong pacifism, and a classic example of the artist's interest in universal and humanitarian themes. Burnished copper, stained glass and inlaid mosaic tile address the necessity of diversity, and the challenges of achieving global nonviolence.
Owned by the Chang Family, this artwork was generously loaned to the City of Walnut Creek in 2014.
