194932664Paris: Albert Skira 1949. Masson André. Original wrappers as issued in chemise and slipcase. Folio 15-1/2 x 11 inches. 223 pp. 33 aquatint etchings printed by Roger Lacourière. From a total edition of 165 this is one of the first 25 copies which were printed on Marais paper and include an original wash drawing. This copy contains the drawing for the frontispiece arguably the best in the book. There are two extra suites of the illustrations one in color on Montval the other in black on Ingres from a total edition of 150 copies signed on the colophon by author illustrator and publisher. In addition four proofs on a variant paper are specially signed by Masson. From the collection of Lawrence Saphire with a note laid in concerning the extra plates. Reva Castleman approvingly quotes Daniel Kahnweiler who called this "among the most beautiful books of our times". Masson's aquatints "erupt throughout the text like the flickering of film that intermittently slides off its sprockets a fitting commentary on the literary form Malraux had devised under the influence of the Russian director Sergei Eisenstein's cinematic style" Castleman A Century of Artists Books New York 1994. p.31 130. This image is one of the 33 aquatints created to illustrate Les Conquerants The Conquerors a novel about civil unrest in China by André Malraux first published in Paris in 1928.<br /> <br /> Swiss publisher Skira who wanted to produce publications in “the tradition of the ‘great illustrated books’†commissioned Masson in 1947 to illustrate Andre Malraux’s novel. Prior to this commission Masson had recently returned from Atelier 17 in New York after studying printmaking techniques with Stanley Hayter Brit. 1901-1988 who originally had his studio in Paris prior to WWII. Masson’s aquatints for Les Conquerants are considered to be technically complex using gradations of only one colour along with black. The plates are larger than the format and therefore there are no platemarks. Ref: Saphire #272. Albert Skira unknown

Je désire qu'il n'y ait aucune équivoque sur le mien. J'ai essayé d'exprimer la seule chose qui me tienne à coeur et de montrer quelques images de la grandeur humaine. » Le prix Goncourt est décerné au quatrième tour de scrutin à André Malraux par cinq voix contre trois voix à Charles Braibant pour Le roi dort une voix à René Béhaine pour La Solitude et le Silence et une voix à Paul Nizan pour Antoine Bloyé.

Autograph inscription signed by André Malraux to his friends Minka and Karl-Hans Strauss enhanced with two small drawings in red and blue ink representing cats. Minka a Rothschild descendant and Karl-Hans Strauss were important patrons and collectors of art and music close to André Malraux. Their correspondence seems to reveal that in the 1970s the elderly writer was hunting around the world with his last companion Sophie de Vilmorin for works for their collection. At the end of his life he thus rediscovered this youthful passion that inspired his first work la Voie Royale. Gallimard unknown

Oct 1948. accompanied by an original coloured drawing depicting the famous ""dyable"" walking in profile sketched in red and blue pencil used for the eye and bristling hair Brigitte Friang joined the Resistance at the age of 19 and quickly became a key operative in charge of coordinating parachute drops in the western region. She was arrested by the Gestapo after attempting to help her friend Pierre Brossolette escape from Rennes prison. She later confessed: I knew all the landing and drop zones I knew the real names of many agents because I had transmitted them in code to London for registration. Seriously wounded she was deported to Ravensbrück then to the Sudeten commando camps. She managed to escape from the transport heading to Dachau by hiding in straw. In 1946 she co-founded the Rassemblement du Peuple Français in support of De Gaulles return to power after his resignation and became part of the small circle of close associatesalongside André Malrauxwho drafted the foundational Strasbourg speech in 1947. Following the dissolution of the R.P.F. she turned to frontline journalism covering the wars in Indochina Suez the Six-Day War and Vietnam and later became André Malrauxs press officer. This marked the beginning of a long friendship with Malraux who spoke of their closeness in Antimémoires referring affectionately to his Brigitte. In return Brigitte Friang would recount their thirty-year friendship in two works Un autre Malraux and Petit tour autour de Malraux both offering a poignant yet candid portrait of the writer and statesman.

1969653521969. Fine. 29 janvier 1969 21 x 27 cm une feuille filigranée Guerimand Voiron Letter typed and signed from André Malraux to Maurice Béjart. One leaf headed by the Ministre d'Etat chargé des Affaires Culturelles Ministry of Culture bearing a stamp from 29 January 1969. André Malraux hopes to place choreographer Maurice Béjart in charge of the Ballet de l'Opéra in Paris. Béjart was at the time very well established in Brussels as part of his troop Ballet du XXe siècle performing at the Théâtre de la Monnaie led by his friend Maurice Huismans. Following a report by Jean Vilar to reform the Opéra in Paris Malraux takes the decision to call Béjart back to France: “J'aimerais que nous puissions nous rencontrer pour parler d'un projet que vous connaissez déjà et auquel j'attache une grande importance : la Direction de la Danse à l'Opéra” “I would like us to be able to meet to talk about a project that you already know and to which I attach a great significance: the Management of Dance at the Opéra.” Malraux's idea was to name Boulez and Jean Vilar alongside him thus forming a solid avant-garde resolutely oriented towards the future of the arts. The choreographer declined the offer and continued his creations in Belgium. He becomes no less an admirer of Malraux to whom he will dedicate fifteen years later a ballet using Beethoven's music which he entitled “Malraux ou la métamorphose des dieux.” This letter is the only testimony existing to Malraux's request to the choreographer which remained controversial. This nomination was not accepted by Béjart who stayed in Belgium for ten years before heading to Lausanne.  Provenance: Maurice Béjart's personal archives. unknown
