Description from the seller
PIERRE MOLINIER
Bernard Letu editor, Geneva, 1979, (27 x 21 cm), 80 pages, dust jacket.
Editor's note - A Joyce Mansour poem: Forbidden Senses - A letter from Cécile Euzéby - Biographical note - Bibliography.
Bilingual edition, French and English.
Numerous full-color erotic reproductions as plates, oils, drawings...
Original edition, copy in perfect condition, fine printing on heavy paper.
Born in 1900 in Agen, Pierre Molinier, surrealist painter and photographer, precursor of body art, committed suicide in 1976 in Bordeaux after having conceived a radical and pornographic body of work. He is best known for his erotic paintings and for his photomontages, staged depictions of his own body and cross-dressed self-portraits, in which his cult of androgyny and his fetish for legs express themselves.
His singular and enigmatic body of work influenced, in the early 1970s, European and North American body artists, and continues to attract the attention of artists, critics, and erotica collectors today.
