Pepper, Curtis Bill An Artist and the Pope - Based on the Recollections of Giacomo Manzu
London Peter Davies 1969 0432090908 / 9780432090909 First Edition Cloth Very Good Very Good Manzu, Giacomo
Gilt title on two tone brown cloth boards which are clean and unmarked with no wear. Internally there is an inscription to front pastedown else very clean, tight and unmarked. A Very Good+ copy. Dustjacket also VG+ has a little light creasing and is not price clipped. First UK edition. They both came from Bergamo in Italy but there the affinity seemed to halt, for the one was the beloved Pope John XXIII and the other was a Communist bereft of his religious faith, the famous sculptor Giacomo Manzu. Yet Pope John, discerning the man beyond the atheist, commissioned Manzu to make his portrait bust, and despite all the artist's misgivings, there developed between them a warm and deeply significant friendship which drove Manzu to achieve the remarkable Doors of Death for St. Peter's in Rome, the first new doors in the cathedral for 500 years. The artist's intimate recollections of his experience of Pope John, in themselves unforgettable, are enhanced by the book's unique illustrations. Curtis Bill Pepper, the distinguished American correspondent living in Rome, has helped to create this beautiful and moving work. **** NOT EX LIB ****
