Footnote:
The dedication is likely to be to the art historian Josef Paul Hodkin (1905-1995), who wrote on figures including Edvard Munch, Oskar Kokoschka, Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. Hodin lived between London and Cornwall, becoming friendly with the artists in St. Ives, including Patrick Heron, writing catalogue essays and articles on his work.
