  5. Psychologie de l'art : La Création artistique
    André MALRAUX
    Psychologie de l'art : La Création artistique
    [The Creative Act]
    Skira|Genève [Geneva] 1948|23 x 29.50 cm|reliure de l'éditeur
    First edition, no deluxe copies printed.
    Richly illustrated.
    Slight sunning to spine.
    With a precious signed autograph inscription from André Malraux to his friend, the prominent Gaullist resistance fighter Brigitte Friang: “Pour Brigitte. A. Malraux. Oct 1948.” accompanied by an original coloured drawing depicting the famous "dyable" walking in profile, sketched in red and blue pencil (used for the eye and bristling hair)
    Brigitte Friang joined the Resistance at the age of 19 and quickly became a key operative in charge of coordinating parachute drops in the western region. She was arrested by the Gestapo after attempting to help her friend Pierre Brossolette escape from Rennes prison. She later confessed: “I knew all the landing and drop zones, I knew the real names of many agents because I had transmitted them in code to London for registration.” Seriously wounded, she was deported to Ravensbrück, then to the Sudeten commando camps. She managed to escape from the transport heading to Dachau by hiding in straw.
    In 1946, she co-founded the Rassemblement du Peuple Français in support of De Gaulle’s return to power after his resignation, and became part of the small circle of close associates—alongside André Malraux—who drafted the foundational Strasbourg speech in 1947. Following the dissolution of the R.P.F., she turned to frontline journalism, covering the wars in Indochina, Suez, the Six-Day War, and Vietnam, and later became André Malraux’s press officer.
    This marked the beginning of a long friendship with Malraux, who spoke of their closeness in Antimémoires, referring affectionately to “his Brigitte.” In return, Brigitte Friang would recount their thirty-year friendship in two works, Un autre Malraux and Petit tour autour de Malraux, both offering a poignant yet candid portrait of the writer and statesman.

    Linogravures [Linocuts]
    With an original signed drawing

    drawing: 24,5 x 23 cm, publisher's cloth
    with custom slipcase
    First edition.
    Publisher's Bradel beige cloth, with dust jacket (a little light spotting and rubbing).
    With 45 linocuts by the artist.
    An original drawing by Pablo Picasso in black ink of a faun's head, with an autograph inscription signed and dated by the artist to “Sergueï, son ami Picasso le 4.5.57” [Sergey, his friend Picasso], on a leaf laid down on the endpaper. It's very likely that the drawing was for the choreographer Serge Lifar (Sergey Mihailovitch Lifar, 1904-1986) for whom Picasso designed costumes and sets.
    Discreet repairs to corners of leaf with drawing.
    Added: the volume Céramiques from Pablo Picasso published by Albert Skira in 1948, including an autograph colorful letter from Pablo Picasso, signed and dated, to the same Sergueï which should have been topped by a drawing, cut out from the copy probably in order to be framed.
    An exceptional copy with an original drawing signed by Pablo Picasso.

André Malraux. Février 48. [To Rémy in memory of our various collaborations, with best wishes. André Malraux. February 48]."
