Malraux and the theory of art Interview about Malraux Rick Visser from the weblog Artrift asks me a series of questions about Malraux and art. The interview can also be read on the site of the Amitiés Internationales André Malraux. André Malraux and the Challenge to Aesthetics Concerns Malraux's two key works on the visual arts, The Voices of Silence and The Metamorphosis of the Gods. The article is also available on the site of the Amitiés Internationales André Malraux. André Malraux and the Modern, Transcultural Concept of Art Examines Malraux's account of the emergence of the idea of 'art' in European culture from the Renaissance onwards, and the subsequent transformation of that idea, post-Manet, resulting in the modern concept of art which encompassed, for the first time, the works of all cultures. The analysis is based on The Voices of Silence and The Metamorphosis of the Gods. The article was published in Literature and Aesthetics Vol 15, No 1, December 2005 (a special issue entitled Before Pangaea). Art

Art and Time The relationship between art and time - the temporal nature of art - is one of the fundamental issues to be addressed in considering the nature of art. Is art 'timeless'? Does it belong within historical time? Is there another possibility? This issue is almost completely neglected in contemporary aesthetics (whether 'analytic' or 'continental'). The following two articles, which are informed by Malraux's thinking, address aspects of the question. New: Art, Time and Metamorphosis: A
