Brigitte Bardot on a Harley Davidson, circa 1967 Black and white digital print Dimensions: 20.8 x 22 cm Note: An emblematic image of Brigitte Bardot posing on a Harley-Davidson, the perfect synthesis of 1960s Bardot mythology: freedom, transgression and modernity. High boots, miniskirts and an assertive posture make up an instantly recognizable iconography, at the crossroads of cinema, fashion and rock culture. The industrial staging and sharp contrast of black and white reinforce the graphic power of the image, while the motorcycle becomes a veritable symbolic attribute, associating Bardot with a feminine figure freed from traditional codes. This type of photography played a key role in building Bardot's public image in the late 1960s, a period of maximum international notoriety. This print is of great decorative and iconographic interest, particularly appreciated by collectors of film, fashion and pop culture photographs, as well as by fans of the Bardot aesthetic and the Harley-Davidson imaginary.
