Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
You can only make art that talks to the masses when you have nothing to say to them.
Andre Malraux
Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Youth is a religion from which one always ends up being converted.
Andre Malraux
To understand what the outside of an aquarium looks like, it's better not to be a fish.
Andre Malraux

Andre Malraux
Every great masterpiece is a purification of the world.
Andre Malraux
The thrill of creation which we experience which we experience when we see a masterpiece is not unlike the feeling of the artist who created it such a work is a fragment of the world which he has annexed and which belongs to him alone.
Andre Malraux
Nothing is harder than to get people to think about what they are going to do.
Andre Malraux
War puts its questions stupidly, peace mysteriously.
Andre Malraux
Every creation is, at its root, the struggle between potential form and imitated form.
Andre Malraux
If you can't make art, make your life a work of art.
Andre Malraux
Christ...an anarchist who succeeded. That's all.
Andre Malraux
