After the war years, Malraux's work turned resolutely towards aesthetic questions. Between 1947 and 1949, the Geneva-based publisher Skira released * The Imaginary Museum *, *Artistic Creation *, and *The Currency of the Absolute* , forming the three volumes of *Psychology of Art*. Revised and corrected, these works were collected in 1951 by Gallimard under the title *The Voices of Silence*.
Novelist, essayist, and literary critic Frédéric Lefèvre (1889-1949) participated in the creation of the weekly journal Nouvelles Littéraires He served as its editor-in-chief until his death in 1949. In the summer of 1948, Lefèvre was working on an essay on Plato, as evidenced by his personal archives now held at the BNF (National Library of France). This essay was never published.
