Jane Asher on her motorcycle, ca. 1966 Black-and-white digital print Dimensions: 29.2 x 20 cm Note: An emblematic photograph of Jane Asher in the mid-1960s, showing her riding her motorcycle in a frontal, determined posture. The image is fully in line with the aesthetics of the decade, marked by the emergence of a new female figure, independent and freed from traditional codes. The tight framing and direct angle reinforce the strength of the gaze and the presence of the subject. The contrast of black and white accentuates the graphic dimension of the composition, giving this photograph a timelessness characteristic of the iconic images of British pop culture. Associated with the world of youth, freedom and style of the 1960s, this image will appeal equally to photography collectors and fans of the cultural icons of the period.
