...place that, unlike France's many one-man museums, would be widely known and easily accessible. This was also the dream of his daughter ("my little dove") Isabelle, who has devoted her life to her father's work. A few weeks ago Minister of Culture André Malraux told her of the museum plan and Rouault's big place in it. Isabelle got her mother, brother, sisters, nieces and nephews to agree to the gift, biggest ever made to a state by the heirs of an artist...
...lover need not feel deprived. By jet and superhighway, it would be possible for one man to see all the major exhibitions open this week in the U.S. and Europe before any of them closes. Or he can, as ever, take advantage of the thesis of Andre Malraux: that the camera and advanced techniques of color reproduction can transform man's mind into a "museum without walls," in which the whole sweep of art is on permanent display (see the next dozen pages...
...Lipchitz is a distant course but logical. From the lushness of Delacroix to the colored orchestrations of the Fauves is hardly a giant leap; and the abstract expressionists have claimed Turner as a father.

Since many on the Right went on to become collaborators with the Germans--at least in associating themselves with the Vichy government--and since, after the Liberation, almost...
...SNCC offices, just off Hunter Street, radicalism is not a strange word or concept. A copy of Malraux's Man's Fate lies ostentatiously on a mantel piece, preventing copies of the National Guardian and the Reporter from blowing away in the Georgia breeze. A picture of several field secretaries hangs on the wall, entitled in pencil: "Three who make revolution." Asked to explain that, a member of the office staff smiled: "Well, if we get Eastland beaten someday, that'll be a revolution...
