MALRAUX André (1901-1976).
L.A.S. "A.M." (draft), [ca. 1975], to Michel GUY, Minister of Culture| 2 1/2 pages in-4 and 1 1/2 pages in-8.
Draft letter as Honorary Chairman of the Association des Donateurs d'oeuvres d'art aux Musées nationaux français.
He transmits a text proposed by the association to modify an article of a bill... He does so "not only as Honorary President of this Association, but also because I have had the honor of receiving most of these donations. If no conditions were attached, it's because the donors knew that Gal de Gaulle, the Government and myself would accept, if need be, a text similar to the one I'm submitting to you today. And that I not only agree with its spirit, but also bear witness to the fact that it responds to the moral commitment then made in the name of France.
The Association would be delighted to see these texts - or those by which we would replace them by mutual agreement - take the form of decisions at the Conseil d'Etat. It will, of course, reserve the right to appeal against any different procedure.
As for me, I'd like to remind you of one of the elements of our conversation. I believe I was familiar with President Georges Pompidou's views on this subject, as were all the members of the government. I am certain that he would never have taken a measure whose consequences for the Musées Nationaux could have been disastrous, and that he would have given himself the time to eliminate conflicts. In fifty years' time, a new form of museum may well have swept away the Musée d'Art Moderne and its "rivals". The entire Pelliot Foundation, bequeathed to the Louvre, is now [...] at the Musée Guimet. It's not impossible that Pelliot's shadow will be happy about this| but I'll leave it to you to imagine Pelliot's reaction while he was still alive. And at the time of the donation, the Musée Guimet hardly existed"...
A draft note is attached, addressed to Claude Laurens and the members of the Association, stating that Michel Guy has "agreed to confirm by letter that the paintings bequeathed by the members of our Association will be exhibited only where they wish, and in agreement with them. [Above all, whoever comes into contact with the Ministry [...] should take a copy of the text and report on it without any changes, as it is a draft convention"| and he adds, in red pen, for Laurens: "the last paragraph concerns agitated people, like Ida, who tend to mix things up".
