Re: Cheerskep's "Derek -- Did Malraux ever use any form of the word 'aesthetics' (aesthetic, aesthetically, etc.)? If he did, did he ever describe the notion he had in
mind as he used it? Cheerskep, It was a word he used very sparingly indeed hardly at all in fact. The word just does not figure in any significant way in his theory of art. His works on art fill two volumes in his Gallimard 'Pleiade' Complete Works (printed on thin rice paper - I think it's called - as you probably know)and I would be surprised if one found the word more than half a dozen time in the whole two vols.
