 His output is remarkable in that it ended with a period of productivity that was just as notable as the early period.He embarked in 1966 on his "Demeures", or "Dwellings", a series of metaphorical portraits of great artists from many disciplines, presented in the form of buildings reflecting Malkine's perception of their character or work.Malkine was not devoted uniquely to the art of painting; between the years 1933-1939, he acted in 20 films, working with, among others, Jean Gabin, Billy Wilder, and Michèle Morgan.
