196019693Garden City: Doubleday & Company. As New in Very Good dust jacket. 1960. First US Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full maroon cloth with embossed gilt lettering on cover and spine. Profusely illustrated with B&W photographs. In slipcase. Through the civilizations of Greece and Byzantium and Europe Malraux traces successive changes not only in the meaning of art but in its uses. One loses a sense of one period growing out of another and substitutes instead an awareness of forces that produced change beyond the definable worldly factors. Malraux reaches back into pre- history to ancient empires Minean and Mycenacean and Egyptian and Hittite; and forward to the classic eres as the Sophists undermined the prestige of the gods and the tyranny of reality lept Rome from true art. With the Byzantium overlordship came the linking and kinship between Christian and Oriental forms. A religious ferment was at work. Mosaics- not painting- took the place of the antique sculptures. Manuscript illumination- Coptic miniatures- the art of the illuminated book all were directed to a limited few the book loving elite. But with the religious revival of the 11th century and the Crusades architecture and sculpture found new birth. The Romanesque period established a new relationship between man and God and man and the world in which he lived:- the religion of love as the sacred found expression in human terms. Two centuries- and another change. With the 14th century came the emergence of purely secular figures- and sculpture in its turn was challenged by painting -- as it had supplanted mosaics. The feudal hierarchy was yielding to an urban way of life. This book expands- it opens wider still- the scope of the "Museum without Walls" which is Malraux' great gift to an art-hungry world. This is a superb translation by Stuart Gilbert of a work destined to take a permanent place. The volume is in perfect pristine condition unmarked tight square and clean. The unclipped dust jacket has some slight creases at the upper edges of the flaps light rubbing to spine ends and tips. In a good slipcase with a short split on the top edge light rubbing and sunfading to covers edges. AS NEW/ VERY GOOD. . B&W Photographs. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 400 pp . Doubleday & Company hardcover

195321775New York: Doubleday & Company Inc. 1953. Very Good/Good. One of the most influential art-historical works of the postwar era this volume represents Malraux's full-scale assault on traditional linear art history. <br /> <br /> It is the book that taught the world to see art as a universal language of human defiance against mortality. For the collector of modern thought or art theory a first American edition in a surviving jacket is a mandatory acquisition.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Visuals: Profusely illustrated with hundreds of heliogravure illustrations in black-and-white and several tipped-in color plates.<br /> Visual Encyclopedia: Contains over 600 pages of integrated text and imagery utilizing a sophisticated layout that forces the reader to make the cross-cultural connections Malraux describes.<br /> Binding: Original black cloth with gilt and blind-stamped designs to the front board and spine.<br /> Imprint: Doubleday & Company Inc. Garden City NY 1953. First American Edition.<br /> Specs: Thick quarto; 8.5 inches tall; xii 661 pages including a detailed index and list of illustrations.<br /> Design: Typography and layout designed to emphasize the visual dialogue between disparate cultures e.g. placing a Greek torso next to a Khmer Buddha.<br /> <br /> CONDITION: <br /> THE BOOK: The bindings are tight and square holding the considerable weight of the 600-plus page text block firmly. The internal pages are clean and free of markings showing only light even age-toning consistent with 1950s paper stock. <br /> DUST JACKET: The dust jacket is present but shows the typical vulnerabilities of this heavy volume: the spine is sun-darkened and there is light hand-soiling to the panels. There is a small area of loss at the head of the spine and minor rubbing to the extremities. The jacket is now preserved in a clear archival protective sleeve.<br /> <br /> SCHOLARLY FEATURES<br /> Aesthetic Philosophy: Explores the 'metamorphosis' of art where a religious idol becomes a 'work of art' once removed from its original temple and placed in a museum or book.<br /> Modernist Influence: Deeply impacted the thinking of contemporary figures from Walter Benjamin to Marshall McLuhan bridging the gap between traditional connoisseurship and modern media theory.<br /> Scholarly Shield: As a primary text in the history of the museum this edition is essential for institutional research into how 20th-century curators and historians viewed global heritage. This work popularized the revolutionary idea that the 'imaginary museum' of photographs and prints allows for a global synchronized experience of art history.<br /> Polymathic Perspective: Malraux's dual life as a revolutionary novelist and France's future Minister of Cultural Affairs informs the work's epic philosophical scale.<br /> Postwar Landmark: Published at a moment when Europe was rebuilding its cultural identity; it served as a spiritual defense of Western and World civilization. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> André Malraux was a towering figure in French intellectual life a man of action who fought in the Spanish Civil War and the French Resistance before becoming a chief cultural architect under Charles de Gaulle. 'The Voices of Silence' is his most enduring contribution to the world of ideas.<br /> <br /> This 1953 edition was the first to bring Malraux's matured 'Psychology of Art' to a broad American audience. It appeared exactly as the United States was assuming a dominant role in the international art market providing the intellectual justification for the massive encyclopedic museum collections being built in cities like New York and Chicago.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Aesthetics Museum Theory Comparative Art Visual Culture André Malraux Art Reproduction Cultural Memory 20th-Century Thought Art History Philosophy Cultural Criticism.

Square Quarto. 261 6pp. Original illustrated blue cloth with black lettering on cover white on spine in original illustrated dustjacket white lettering on spine. Illustrated endpapers. "This handsome volume pays tribute to the genius of Georges Braque. The whole astonishing range of his oeuvre is represented from the early Fauvist masterpieces through the daring experiments with which he and Picasso launched the Cubist revolution in modern art to the classically inspired canvases of the 1920s and the lyrical abstractions of his later years. Paintings drawings sculptures frescoes collages graphic works stained-glass windows–all conceived and executed with that elegance and élan which characterize the style of Braque–are reproduced here with infinite care. And thanks to the cooperation of the artist's estate the wealth of illustrations including 96 plates in full color includes a number of major works never before published." Publisher. Beautifully illustrated with color and b/w reproductions of his work throughout including two gatefolds one of them the three-panel color reproduction of "The Three Bathers."
