From Beaux-Arts to Cultural Affairs (1959-1969). André Malraux's entourage and ministerial structures, Charles-Louis Foulon. There were three circles of power around André Malraux, Minister of Cultural Affairs from 1959 to 1969 : friends and companions, managers (often back from Overseas France), and the burgraves, the heirs of the Beaux-Arts tradition. The minister's genius was not sufficient to overhaul intangible administrative structures. From the Maisons de la Culture to cultural action there was nevertheless much progress, even if the issue of mass culture was not settled.
