Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot in "Bonnie and Clyde", - Lot 17

Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot in "Bonnie and Clyde", circa 1968 Black and white digital print Dimensions: 13.2 x 30.7 cm Note: an emblematic image reuniting Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot in the visual universe of Bonnie and Clyde, a legendary film of the New Hollywood era. The scene, with its deliberately dark and theatrical aesthetic, takes up the visual codes of the feature film (rustic decor, contrasting lighting, 1930s-inspired costumes) and bears witness to the shooting sessions and iconographic tests carried out around the project. The joint presence of Gainsbourg and Bardot lends this print a singular cultural dimension, at the crossroads of cinema, music and the media mythology of the 1960s. The image illustrates a pivotal period, during which Bardot established herself as an international icon, while Gainsbourg asserted his position as a total artist, already strongly identified visually. This print is of high iconographic and historical interest, sought after by collectors of cinema photographs, artists' portraits and objects linked to the Bardot-Gainsbourg imaginary.
