Brigitte Bardot, circa 1969 - Lot 12

Brigitte Bardot, circa 1969 Black and white digital print Dimensions: 21.5 x 21 cm Note: This portrait of Brigitte Bardot, taken around 1969, is part of the aesthetic of the late 1960s, marked by greater formal freedom and an affirmation of personality as style. The tight framing, frontal gaze and almost nonchalant attitude give the image a new intensity, far removed from the more classic glamour codes of previous decades. The shadow of the hat, the heavy make-up and the loose hair all contribute to a visual construction that is both mysterious and assertive. The black-and-white digital print reinforces the portrait's timeless character, emphasizing contrast, texture and expression rather than color. This image presents a more introspective, almost iconic Bardot, embodying both female emancipation and the spirit of a changing era. With its intimate format (21.5 x 21 cm), the work invites a close-up reading, where the face becomes a veritable emotional landscape.
