ABOUT PROVOCATEUR PROVOCATEUR began as a world-renowned art magazine specializing in sensual male imagery. The magazine ceased publication in 1997 after printing eight issues. The magazines that were produced were of the highest quality in regards to their content as well as their production, printing and commentaries. The few issues that were printed and sold have become highly collectible and valuable. In 2004, the PROVOCATEUR brand was revived as a line of collectable wall calendars that feature the sensual, fine art photography and illustration that the magazine was known for. Over the recent years, the PROVOCATEUR calendars have showcased the works of both upcoming talent and famous artists such as best-selling author and film director Clive Barker, the legendary gay photographer Tom Bianchi, and internationally acclaimed photographers Renée Jacobs and Fred Goudon.
