          | Pedro Uhart’s murals differs in style from those of his Latin American predecessors,  his early ones join  them in political content.  In 1973  at  the  Biennal  at the  Paris’s Muséum of Modern Art,  he  hung between two columns, a  floating mural titled  « Once de  Septiembre  de 1973 »,  against the Chilean’s  army  putsch  in  which President  Allende  die.  
This mural,  that Le Monde  (the famous french newspaper)   called     "Guernica du Chili ",  brought  the artist public and critical recognition. In  1974,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Office  of  Cultural  Affaires  Of  New  York  City,  and  the  Lower  Manhattan  Cultural Council,  Pedro Uhart  hung  in the  Central  Park  bandshell,  in Washington  Square,  and  in the   Battery  Park  trees,  a  fourteen  meters  long  mural,  " History  of  War ",  wich attracted  the  atttention  of  thousand  of  people,    and  was  praised  by  the  press  as  a  work  of  art  which  conveys  its  message  effectively,  and  enhances  the beauty  of  natural  enviroments.
 In   this  murals,  wich  show  the  people’s  struggle  for  fredom  whith  an  astonishing  lyrical intensity.
