Pierre Molinier

Pierre Molinier was a French painter, photographer and "maker of objects". Integrated into the Surrealist movement in 1955 through André Breton, he became known for erotic imagery that merged sexuality, fetishism, and religious ritual. In the final decade of his life, he created photomontages in which he appeared as a transvestite figure, combining his body with mannequins to produce provocative works that challenged social taboos.
