Andre Malraux
Our art culture makes no attempt to search the past for precedents, but transforms the entire past into a sequence of provisional responses to a problem that remains intact.
Andre Malraux
The present age delights in unearthing a great man's secrets for one thing because we like to temper our admiration and also perhaps we have a vague hope of finding a clue to genius in such revelations.
Andre Malraux
The ordinary man puts up a struggle against all that is not himself, whereas it is against himself, in a limited but all-essential field, that the artist has to battle.
Andre Malraux
The truth about a man lies first and foremost in what he hides.
Andre Malraux
The crucial discovery was made that, in order to become painting, the universe seen by the artist had to become a private one created by himself.
Andre Malraux
