[edit] What about "he crossed Africa to Madagascar he led a travelling theatrical troupe?
I saw a reference to this in connection with Ariane Audoouin-Dubreuil —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnbibby (talk • contribs) 20:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Is the group shot equivalent?
We may have a copyright problem with the main portait used on this page. This topic came up in Talk:Tourette syndrome #Malraux image, of all places. Here are two images:
Portrait of younger Malraux: lower-resolution with a fair-use defense
Long group shot of an older Malraux, with no copyright issues (it's public domain)
The question is whether the use of the portrait on André Malraux conforms to WP:NFCC#1, which states "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available.… (As a quick test, ask yourself: 'Can this image be replaced by a different one that has the same effect, or adequately conveyed by text without using a picture at all?' If the answer is yes, the image probably does not meet this criterion.)"
I think the portrait passes this test, as the group shot does not at all have the same effect: it doesn't illustrate Malraux the author when he was doing his most-famous literary work, but rather Malraux the political/cultural eminence in his later years. This is a judgment call that needs to be addressed or otherwise we won't be able to use the image. Any opinion here from Malraux experts (I'm not one) would be helpful.
