More Information

This dedication was drawn on the half-title page of Henry Moore on Sculpture (James 1966) for Giovanni Carandente, who in 1972 curated the exhibition Moore a Firenze. Carandente would have explained to Moore the significance of 24 June, the festival of San Giovanni, patron saint of Florence. The illustration is reproduced from Secondo Tempo (Marcus Edizioni, Naples 2002), see HMF 3446a.
