29424S.l.n.d. 1976. 1 page en 1 f. stylo bille bleu. . Manuscrit autographe signé et daté « André Malraux 1976 ». Un des derniers textes de Malraux évoquant son ami Galanis : 50 ans d'amitié. L'amitié entre Maraux et Galanis est précoce puisqu'elle date de 1919. Le jeune homme avait visité son atelier de Montmartre et le premier texte en 1922 de Malraux comme critique d'art c'est en ouverture du catalogue d'une exposition du peintre grec qu'il le donne. Une amitié fondatrice annonciatrice d'une fructueuse collaboration. Lors de toutes ses entreprises éditoriales tant pour le compte de Simon Kra que pour le sien propre associé à son ami d'enfance Louis Chevasson pour créer « À la sphère » qui deviendra « Les Aldes » Malraux fera maintes fois appel à Galanis pour illustrer des livres notamment ceux de Georges Gabory de Paul Morand ou encore d'Albert Samain. Pour la collection des auteurs étrangers chez Gallimard « Du monde entier » Malraux délègue à Galanis la confection de la vignette de couverture le propos de la collection étant de « réunir quelques-uns des meilleurs romans étrangers présentés par des écrivains français connus et dont l'autorité garantisse au lecteur parmi le nombre considérable des traductions de toutes langues une qualité littéraire certaine ». Le motif créé sera utilisé pour chaque titre et sans exception comme fleurons central de couverture jusqu'en 1961 remplacé par un photographisme de Georges Guimbertaud adapté par Massin. Leur amitié culminant avec l'exposition organisée à la Bibliothèque nationale en 1963 sur l'initiative du ministre de la Culture trois ans avant la mort de l'artiste en 1966. Malraux jouera également un plein rôle dans la transformation de la « ruche de Montmartre » - l'atelier où Galanis travaillait dans les années 1920 - en l'actuel Musée de Montmartre. Malraux rédigera ce texte qui constituent l'une de ses dernières publications quelques mois avant sa mort le 23 novembre en l'honneur de son ami. Un texte mélancolique et respectueux qui sera reproduit en fac-similé en tête du catalogue de l'Hommage à Demetrius Galanis organisé du 1er juin au 18 septembre 1976 par le Centre culturel hellénique de Paris au musée de Montmartre justement. Malraux trop affaibli ne pourra s'y rendre : « Que sont devenues ces natures mortes d'Anthologie grecque - figues amandes flûtes de Pan raisins - si différentes de l'illustration des Nuits d'Octobre alors dans sa gloire qu'en 1922 les jeunes écrivains comparaient aux fruits des Cènes toscanes à ceux de Derain Plusieurs ont appartenu à Vanili Photiadès. Combien de surprises nous donnerait une exposition peintures et gravures du temps où Galanis se reposait en décorant d'autres figues et d'autres flûtes l'harmonium qu'il avait fabriqué patiemment entre 1920 et 1930. » Provenance : Paul-Louis Weiller Paris Vente IV 2011 n° 641.

31054Paris Gallimard 15 février 1974. 1 vol. 140 x 205 mm de 278 p. 2 47 planches en noir 3 et 1 f. Broché. . Édition originale. Un des exemplaires poinçonnés du service de presse. Envoi signé : « Pour Maurice Genevoix avec l'amical souvenir pour Madame Maurice Genevoix avec les respectueux hommages d'André Malraux et pour la charmante petite voisine du dîner de Ludmilla Tcherina ». . C'est en 1973 invité par la veuve du peintre Jacqueline Picasso que Malraux se rend à Mougins puis à Vauvenargues choisir des toiles pour une donation à l'État de tableaux. Cette pérégrination dans l'atelier du défunt peintre mais aussi dans les couloirs de la toute nouvelle fondation Maeght donnera lieu aux réflexions consignées dans La Tête d'obsidienne lesquelles prendront part réduites dans l'agencement tardif du Miroir des limbes. « Tout homme qui écrit et qui écrit bien sert la France » a un jour confié le général de Gaulle à André Malraux. Maurice Genevoix aura donc doublement servi son pays ; par le corps et par l'esprit. Grièvement blessé dans des combats à Rupt-en-Woëvre près de la colline des Éparges en 1915 il y perd l'usage de son bras gauche et est réformé à 70% d'invalidité. Son tout premier récit de guerre Sous Verdun publié en 1916 sera partiellement censuré. En 1949 alors élu académicien depuis trois ans il publie Ceux de 14 qui a fait sa gloire de conteur tragique que n'a sans doute pas renié André Malraux - l'inoubliable orateur du transfert des cendres de Jean Moulin au Panthéon le 19 décembre 1964 que Maurice Genevoix rejoindra 56 ans plus tard le 11 novembre 2020. La dédicace de Malraux évoque un dîner chez Ludmilla Tcherina : danseuse comédienne peintre et sculpteur future marraine de l'exposition "félines" dédiée à André Malraux en 1981 elle partageait avec ce dernier une passion pour les chats. La "charmante voisine" est probablement la fille du couple Genevoix Sylvie qui vient de terminer à Paris ses études de Lettres classiques et qui deviendra par la suite une grande figure de l'édition contemporaine. Pour l'anecdote Ludmilla Tcherina est indirectement bien connue des bibliophiles : elle est la fille de Stéphane et d'Avenir Tchemerzine les auteurs de la célèbre bibliographie des éditions originales de la poésie française du Moyen Âge au XIXe siècle. Elle hérita de ses parents d'une collection importante de livres précieux. De la bibliothèque de Maurice Genevoix envoi et ex-libris. Paris, Gallimard, (15 février) 1974. 1 vol.

195480045Paris: Gallimard 1954. Fine. Gallimard Paris 1954 18 x 23.50 cm reliure de l'éditeur The first edition of which there were no deluxe copies. Publisher's full cream cloth binding complete with its illustrated dust jacket. Spine of dust jacket sunned and with two small stains on the back panel Precious signed autograph inscription from André Malraux to Maurice Blanchot. While they knew each other at the NRF it was primarily through several major articles by Blanchot devoted to Malraux that the two men ""encountered"" each other. After the war Blanchot published in Bataille's ephemeral review 'Actualité' an article on l'Espoir that allowed him ""to visibly inscribe his political reversal"". In 1950-51 in his double article on ""Le Musée imaginaire"" he formalized his own theory of the image that would permeate his future work. Confronting these two visions of art Henri Godard writes: ""Through the constancy and radicalism of its reference to death to absence to nothingness Blanchot's thought is one pole of our reflection on art of which Malraux could well incarnate the other"" In ""L'Expérience existentielle de l'art"". A polarity that could only bind Blanchot to Malraux whose tutelary figure would be invoked one final time at the end of his last narrative ""l'Instant de ma mort"": ""Later having returned to Paris he met Malraux. The latter told him that he had been taken prisoner without being recognized that he had managed to escape while losing a manuscript. What does it matter! Only the feeling of lightness remains which is death itself or to put it more precisely the instant of my death henceforth always pending."" Rich iconography. Spine of dust jacket slightly sunned as is often the case and with two marginal stains at the head of the back panel. Gallimard hardcover

197385169Paris: Gallimard 1973. Fine. Gallimard Paris 1973 14 x 20.50 cm agrafé First edition printed in 50 copies on bouffant alfa paper and consisting of an offprint of the preface to Cahiers de la Petite Dame by Maria van Rysselberghe. Rare and handsome copy. Autograph inscription dated and signed by André Malraux to his friends Karl-Hans and Minka Strauss. Minka granddaughter of the Rothschilds and Karl-Hans Strauss were important patrons and collectors of art and music close to André Malraux.

Rare plaquette dans laquelle Malraux consigne les sentiments qui l'assaillirent à la lecture des Sept piliers de la sagesse de Thomas Edward Lawrence.
