Pierre Molinier is a comprehensive monograph dedicated to the singular practice of French artist Pierre Molinier (1900–1976), whose radical paintings, photographs, and photomontages profoundly challenged conventional notions of gender, identity, and desire. Written and edited by Jean-Luc Mercié, the publication traces Molinier's lifelong exploration of self-transformation through staged photography, fetishism, surrealism, and performance long before these themes entered mainstream contemporary discourse. Richly illustrated with archival material and key works, the book situates Molinier's influence on generations of artists—from body art and performance to contemporary photography—while offering an essential introduction to one of the most provocative and visionary figures of twentieth-century art.
