About
Why this artist matters now
Bernard Faucon is a French photographer and writer. He first established a career in art photography and has exhibited widely around the world. Some of his work has attracted accusations of promoting pedophilia, which he rejected as "a loss of open-mindedness" in a 2005 interview. In 2024, the French daily Le Monde published accusations from three men who alleged having suffered "sexual violence" at his hands as adolescent muses for his photography.
