He had a deep and abiding interest in art and its effect on us as human beings: "to Malraux aesthetic ideas like the philosophy of action expressed in his own novels would always be part of man’s eternal questioning of destiny and his response to it" n.b. from the web site of the Encyclopedia Britannica. <br /> <br /> His first work was published in 1926 a novel; for his 1933 masterpiece "La Condition humaine" he was awarded the Prix Goncourt.

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.
