GÜNST-HORN (Pierre). Fleeting Memories. Poems. Illustrations by Gilbert l'Héritier. Paris, Arcam, 1988. In-8, paperback, printed cover. A limited-edition poetry collection bringing together texts by Pierre Günst-Horn and eleven original color illustrations by Gilbert l'Héritier. The book unfolds a series of memories, sentimental evocations, and travel reminiscences that blend the elegance of a cosmopolitan world, the nostalgia for fleeting encounters, and the enduring nature of emotions. The poems, inspired in particular by Hungary, Romania, and 1930s Paris, engage in a dialogue with the illustrations by Gilbert l’Héritier, whose dreamlike and expressionist compositions extend the atmosphere of reverie and memory that pervades the volume. The female figures, travel scenes, and suggested architectural elements come together to form a collection of great aesthetic coherence. A meticulously crafted edition published by Éditions Arcam, illustrated with 11 full-page color plates. Limited to 20 numbered copies, making this publication a true bibliophilic rarity. Condition A good copy. The cover shows slight signs of handling with a few discreet traces of wear. The interior is fresh and complete with all illustrations.
