Marc Trivier (1960–2024) was a Belgian photographer known for his distinctive portraits of artists and intellectuals. Starting his career in the late 1970s and early 1980s, he captured influential figures such as Francis Bacon, Samuel Beckett, Michel Foucault, Andy Warhol, and William S. Burroughs, often photographing them in their own homes or studios. His style is characterized by a direct, almost severe aesthetic, utilizing black and white photography to capture the essence of his subjects. Beyond portraiture, Trivier's work included landscapes, scenes from slaughterhouses (abattoirs), and psychiatric hospital patients. He was also involved in theatrical projects, collaborating with figures like Marc Liebens and Michèle Fabien on works exploring the relationship between theater and photography. He lived near Dinant, Belgium.[1,2,3]
