Description: Museum Without WallsAndre Malraux Translated by Stuart GilbertRiveised by Francis Pricec. 1967 With 172 Black and White Photographs of pictures and sculptures. 'the renowned scholar and author describes not only how painting and sculpture have changed since the Middle Ages, but how our knowledge of art, vastly increased by modern archaeology, modern photography, and the diffusion of world culture, has utterly transformed our concept of what art is. By showing us how revolutionary is our understanding of the enterprise of 'art' as we know it, by comparing it with traditional and with non-Western conceptions, Malraux gives a clear vision of what most of us find it impossible even to look at - our own ingrained habits of thinking.In this brilliant and provocative inquire into the meaning of all art, Andre Malraux has crated a work of tremendous philosophical and moral importance - a landmark in man's sear for expression that will tower with unrivaled authority through the years.'-----from the jacket A great little book for anyone wishing to have a better understanding of the progression of art.
