There is now a large and steadily growing body of critical commentary on Malraux's literary œuvre, including his very extensive writings on art.
Unfortunately, some of his works, including the last two volumes of The Metamorphosis of the Gods (L'Irréel and L'Intemporel) are not yet available in English translation.
 Malraux's works on the theory of art contain a revolutionary approach to art that challenges the Enlightenment tradition that treats art simply as a source of "aesthetic pleasure".
However, as French writer André Brincourt has commented, Malraux's books on art have been "skimmed a lot but very little read" (this is especially true in Anglophone countries) and the radical implications of his thinking are often missed.
A particularly important aspect of Malraux's thinking about art is his explanation of the capacity of art to transcend time.
In contrast to the traditional notion that art endures because it is timeless ("eternal"), Malraux argues that art lives on through metamorphosis – a process of resuscitation (where the work had fallen into obscurity) and transformation in meaning.

1968, an international Malraux Society was founded in the United States.
It produces the journal Revue André Malraux Review, Michel Lantelme, editor, at University of Oklahoma.

Another international Malraux association, the Amitiés internationales André Malraux, is based in Paris.

A French-language website, Site littéraire André Malraux, offers research, information, and critical commentary about Malraux's works.

A quote from Malraux's Antimémoires was included in the original 1997 English translation of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
 The quote, "What is a man?
 A miserable little pile of secrets" was part of a surprisingly famous and popular monologue early in the game.

One of the primary "feeder" schools of the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle in London is named in honour of André Malraux.
