About this person
Malkine's 1926 painting Nuit D'amour was the precursor of the lyrical abstract school of painting."He has pushed individualism to the point of impertinence! But what art in his expression of the ineffable whenever he took the pains to do so!" - André Breton "Georges Malkine has left his delicate mark on the window of time, made as with a diamond, without altering its transparence, without blurring the view, leaving the purest trace that can only be discerned from a certain angle and in a certain light." - Patrick Waldberg (1970)
