André Malraux

André Malraux was born in Paris on 3 November 1901 and left school early. Two stays in Southeast Asia, in 1923 and 1925, brought him face to face with colonial exploitation, against which he campaigned in Indochina. He took part in the Spanish Civil War on the side of the Republicans, then at the end of the Second World War commanded the Alsace-Lorraine Brigade. As the first Minister of Cultural Affairs, from 1959 to 1969, he created the maisons de la culture. He died in November 1976.
