Pierre Molinier was an eccentric and provocative self-taught artist who experimented with painting after working as a house painter. He devoted himself to art from 1960 onwards, creating emblematic canvases featuring nude women and his own transvestite body. Molinier's work is characterized by raw eroticism, an attraction to alteration and death, and a fascination with the female form. He used various objects like life-size plaster sculptures and mannequins in his art, exploring themes of sensuality and carnal temptation. Molinier's work is often compared to artists like Hans Bellmer and Salvador Dalí for its unique and provocative nature.Pierre PETIT, Molinier, une vie d'enfer, Editions Ramsay/Jean-Jacques Pauvert, 1992...
