Hard Cover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+. First US Edition. First Printing. 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.

Leather bound. Zustand: Near fine. First and Limited Edition. First edition in English, one of 160 copies, octavo size, 663 pp., signed by André Malraux, in slipcase. Georges André Malraux (1901-1976) lived a life of exploration, social activism, and danger, at one point being a Marxist only, later, to turn back to the hope of Western culture and ideals. 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). His first work was published in 1926 (a novel); for his 1933 masterpiece "La Condition humaine", he was awarded the Prix Goncourt. This work is the first edition (in English) of the one-volume edition of his first book on art, "The Psychology of Art", published in three volumes (19471949). ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full crimson leather by Georges Gauche, Paris, gilt lettering on the spine, top edge gilt, patterned endpapers, limitation page precedes the half-title, this no. 8 of 160 copies and is signed by Malraux, the books is replete with reproductions of paintings and sculptures (mostly black-and-white with a few in colour); octavo size (8 7/8" by 7 3/8"), pagination: [1-11] 12-661 [1, blank] [1, printer's statement]. In the publisher's slipcase covered and lined with red paper. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, the leather soft and supple, the boards clean, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; light sunning and a few stray marks to the spine and one mark to the gilt on the top edge, else fine.
