Pierre
Molinier
Born in 1900 in Agen, France
Died in 1976 in Bordeaux, France
A fetishist and transvestite artist born in 1900, Pierre Molinier created astounding self-portraits, until the year 1976 when he committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth. Painted or photographed, extremely sophisticated in both staging and technique, his works of art span the entire spectrum of self-eroticism.
