"... je ne sais pas entreprendre l'analyse d'une analyse (qui a dû être un sacré boulot !)"

Autograph letter signed and dated by André Malraux (20 lines in blue ballpoint pen from his Boulogne home on avenue Victor Hugo) thanking him for his favorable review either of Des bas-reliefs aux grottes sacrées or of Le Monde chrétien, both published in 1954.
He apologizes for not being able to respond quickly to his laudatory article before thanking him: "... it is certain that by emphasizing both the technical aspect and the other (underlined words), you render the book a great service, and take the animal by the right end...", he also acknowledges the clairvoyance and pertinence of his article despite the difficulty of properly apprehending the work: "... for these essays are not conceivable within traditional art criticism..." while praising the attachment that binds them: "... this attitude, which is the only just one, did it not necessarily imply a friendship that shows through each line, in a place where there is some merit in proclaiming it..."
