LECUIRE (Pierre).

Art poétique. Paris, Pierre Lecuire, 1995. In-folio, in sheets, cover titled in red, publisher's slipcase of light grey wood-paper. Original edition, composed and laid out by Pierre Lecuire and decorated with 9 original drypoints by Geneviève Asse. Unique edition at 52 copies on Cléron mill paper signed by the author and the artist, this one without continuation on chine. "Art poétique is presented as an exploration of the mysterious domain from which the poem emerges. In turn, the themes of language intersect with those of graphic discourse, as in a ballet and in a quasi-musical unity, the themes appear, respond to each other, and move apart in an elegant and austere counterpoint." (Books by Pierre Lecuire, BnF, 2001, n°41). An original photograph by Jean-François Bauret is attached: portrait of Pierre Lecuire at Crommelynck's, circa 1985. Number of the copy scratched.
