Malraux himself was not a pilot, and never claimed to be one, but he was given the title of the Squadron Leader of ' Espana '.

The idea for the Centre Pompidou as a nerve centre of the French art and culture, bringing together in one place the different forms of expression, can be traced back in a way to Malraux ’ ideas.

André Malraux, France's Minister of Culture wanted something unique and decided Chagall would be the ideal artist.

( It should be noted that André Malraux has developed a concept of anti-art quite different from that outlined above.

In the late 1930s, the works of Hemingway, Faulkner and Dos Passos came to be translated into French, and their prose style had a profound impact on the work of writers like Jean-Paul Sartre, André Malraux and Albert Camus.

Malraux was competing with Albert Camus, but was rejected several times, especially in 1954 and 1955, " so long as he does not come back to novel ", while Camus won the prize in 1957.

In 1960 Malraux worked as editor on the series Arts of Mankind, an ambitious survey of world art that generated more than thirty large, illustrated volumes.

‘ The artist is not the transcriber of the world, he is its rival .’ Malraux, L ' Intemporel ( 3rd volume of The Metamorphosis of the Gods.

The literary critic Christopher Hitchens, while noting that Malraux had spent almost no time in China, claimed that the novel " pointed up the increasing weight of Asia in world affairs ; it described epic moments of suffering and upheaval, in Shanghai especially ( it was nearly filmed by Sergei Eisenstein ); and it demonstrated a huge respect for Communism and for Communists while simultaneously evoking the tragedy of a revolution betrayed by Moscow.

His death rites took place at the courtyard of the Louvre Palace on September 1, 1965 under the direction of writer and thinker André Malraux, who was at the time France's Minister of Culture.

After Louise's death, Malraux spent his final years with her relative, Sophie de Vilmorin.

It has been widely rumoured that Serge had abandoned socialism, because of a letter written six days before his death to André Malraux saying that he would support the Gaullist government.

And by a skillful and unobtrusive use of imagery ( the enclosure is called a `` Roman-camp stockade '', the hastily erected lean-to is a `` Babylonian hovel '', the men begin to look like `` Peruvian mummies '' and to acquire `` Gothic faces '' ), Malraux projects a fresco of human endurance -- which is also the endurance of the human -- stretching backward into the dark abyss of time.

For a dawning sense of illumination occurs in consequence of two events which, as so often in Malraux, suddenly confront a character with the existential question of the nature and value of human life.

Another problem is that Dutton's categories seek to universalise traditional European notions of aesthetics and art forgetting that, as André Malraux and others have pointed out, there have been large numbers of cultures in which such ideas ( including the idea " art " itself ) were non-existent.

For instance, Comintern records, on which Beevor relies for the comment above, are a very questionable source since Malraux had been critical of some Stalinist policies.

Some magazines wrote condescending articles about Chagall and Malraux, about which Chagall commented to one writer:

Malraux was responsible for realizing the goals of the " droit à la culture " (" the right to culture ") -- an idea which had been incorporated in the French constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights ( 1948 ) -- by democratizing access to culture, while also achieving the Gaullist aim of elevating the " grandeur " (" greatness ") of post-war France.

Most of the later monarchist theorists ( Jacques Bainville, Henri Vaugeois, Léon Daudet, Henri Massis, Jacques Maritain, Georges Bernanos, Thierry Maulnier ...) have recognized their debt toward Barrès, who also inspired several generations of writers ( among which Montherlant, Malraux, Mauriac and Aragon ).

He was released in 1970 after an international campaign for his release which included Jean-Paul Sartre, André Malraux, General Charles de Gaulle and Pope Paul VI.

Chapman also operates Fugue State Press, a publisher of " advanced and experimental fiction " which has published a peculiar assortment of work by André Malraux, W. B. Keckler, Prakash Kona, Noah Cicero, Eckhard Gerdes, Joshua Cohen, and others.

For Malraux, anti-art began with the ' Salon ' or ' Academic ' art of the nineteenth century which rejected the basic ambition of art in favour of a semi-photographic illusionism ( often prettified ).

The narrator is an Alsatian serving with the French Army, and he has the same name ( Berger ) that Malraux himself was later to use in the Resistance ; ;

For the figure of Vincent Berger Malraux has obviously drawn on his studies of T. E. Lawrence ( though Berger fights on the side of the Turks instead of against them ), and like both Lawrence and Malraux himself he is a fervent admirer of Nietzsche.

Malraux argues that, while art has sometimes been oriented towards beauty and the sublime ( principally in post-Renaissance European art ) these qualities, as the wider history of art demonstrates, are by no means essential to it.

The recent biographer Olivier Todd, who published a book on Malraux in 2005, suggests that he had Tourette's syndrome, although that has not been confirmed.

The term has been used in André Malraux ’ s novel ( 1933 ) and René Magritte ’ s paintings 1933 & 1935, both titled La Condition Humaine, Hannah Arendt ’ s book ( 1958 ) and Masaki Kobayashi ’ s film series ( 1959-1961 ).

Serge's defenders point out that Serge was writing to Malraux, who worked for De Gaulle, as a friend attempting to reestablish a relationship, and that the comment has been taken out of context.

The ' Salon ', Malraux writes, ' has been expelled from painting, but elsewhere it reigns supreme '.

Since May 1997, the Ealing adjunct has been known as the École André Malraux, named after the French author, adventurer and statesman André Malraux.

Andre Malraux wrote in Man's Fate: " There is always a need for intoxication: China has opium, Islam has hashish, the West has woman.

It has published 28 titles to date, including work by Joshua Cohen, Stephen Dixon, Noah Cicero, Shane Jones, Ben Brooks, James Chapman, Prakash Kona, Eckhard Gerdes, André Malraux, W. B. Keckler, Vi Khi Nao, J.

" Malraux later said, " What other living artist could have painted the ceiling of the Paris Opera in the way Chagall did ?...

For here if anywhere in contemporary literature is a major effort to counterbalance Existentialism and restore some of its former lustre to the tarnished image of the species Man, or, as Malraux himself puts it, `` to make men conscious of the grandeur they ignore in themselves ''.

The work as it stands is not the entire book that Malraux wrote at that time -- it is only the first section of a three-part novel called La Lutte avec l'Ange ; ;

According to adventurer André Malraux, in his La Condition Humaine ( 1933 ), " If a man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity ?".

A further approach, elaborated by André Malraux in works such as The Voices of Silence, is that art is fundamentally a response to a metaphysical question (' Art ', he writes, ' is an ' anti-destiny ').

To André Malraux, he also confided, " Now he is going to kill me ".
