There, surrounded by Picasso's powerful last paintings painted face to face with death, and his art collection destined for the Louvre, Malraux recollected Picasso's rebellious life and the metamorphosis of his art. In <i>Picasso's Mask</i>, Malraux's memories, at once personal and historical, evoke Picasso as a private man and as a legendary artistic genius. <p/>For over half a century, André Malraux (1901-1976) was intimately involved in French intellectual life, as philosopher, novelist, soldier, statesman, and secretary for cultural affairs. <p/>Malraux knew Picasso well, and here recollects a number of his conversations with the painter. In rich, evocative, and memory-filled prose, he has written an inspiring and moving reminiscence. <i>Picasso's Mask</i> is one of the most profound works in Malraux's remarkable oeuvre.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>André Malraux's </b> many books include <i>Man's Fate, Man's Hope, The Voices of Silence, The Conquerors, The Temptation of the West, </i> and <i>The Walnut Trees of Altenburg.</i>
