Douglas Kirkland
Brigitte Bardot - Portrait of the French Icon, Fine Art Photography, 1967

1967

About the Item

Black-and-white closeup portrait of french singer and actress Brigitte Bardot, photographed by Douglas Kirkland in 1967. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Brigitte Bardot is a French actress, singer, and model. Famous for portraying sexually emancipated characters, often with hedonistic lifestyles, she was one of the best-known activists in the sexual revolution of the 1950s–1970s. Brigitte Bardot remains a major popular culture icon. Douglas Kirkland photographed her in 1967, creating this beautiful closeup portrait. The image became the Cover of Bardot's Album 'La Belle et Le Blues.' Ever since the young Kirkland eternalized Marilyn Monroe, white sheets, and nothing else, the star photographer has been catapulted into stardom. Dubbed ‘Hollywood’s favorite photographer,’ the late Kirkland has shot over 100 movie sets, from ‘Titanic’ to ‘The Sound of Music.’ While his photographs of icons, from Brigitte Bardot to Andy Warhol and Angelina Jolie, are of the same soft and intimate energy as his early Marilyn shoot, these testaments to the world of motion pictures border on the magical. Tender or larger than life – Kirkland had mastered every tonality.
