Alexandre ALEXEIEFF (1901-1982) - Set of 64 etchings - Stamp on back Atelier Alexandre Alexeieff - 46 x 32 cm
Note: This set of 64 engravings bears the Atelier Alexandre Alexeïeff stamp on the back. These works were specially commissioned by André Malraux to illustrate the edition of his novels, testifying to the meeting between two major figures in 20th-century art and literature.
Alexeïeff, known for his technical innovations and singular aesthetics, placed his talent at the service of Malraux's literary universe, creating engravings of great artistic and narrative depth. This corpus is a precious testimony to the collaboration between these two visionary creators.
The relationship between André Malraux and Alexandre Alexeïeff was based on a notable artistic collaboration. Alexeïeff, famous engraver and inventor of the pin screen, was asked by André Malraux to illustrate certain editions of his novels, notably "La Condition Humaine" and other major literary works.
This collaboration continues the tradition of pairing renowned visual artists with writers to magnify the reader's experience. Alexeïeff, with his detailed, evocative graphic style, brought complementary visual depth to Malraux's powerful, engaging texts. The engravings commissioned by Malraux are thus an example of how literature and the visual arts came together in the service of a common work.
This relationship also testifies to André Malraux's interest, as a man of letters and Minister of Cultural Affairs, in the visual arts as a means of exalting literary works and disseminating culture through prestigious collaborations.
