The pictures were shot in 1965 during the filming of Viva Maria! Douglas Kirkland was brought on as a special photographer for the movie. He spent time on set shooting Bardot and co-star Jeanne Moureau. Kirkland’s portrait of Bardot captures her natural eroticism, a picture of an unrestricted youth full of desire, evoking sexuality not forced but felt. Therefore, Bardot’s unapologetic sexuality created a force that inspired the sexual revolution of the 1960s. With a gaze that seems to look through the viewer and into the beyond, Kirkland’s photo of Bardot symbolizes the profound effect the actress would have on Hollywood censorship. Bardot’s rebellious attitude towards traditional depictions of femininity helped break down barriers for the public and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePROVENANCE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a private collection in Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCOA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work comes with a COA of the artist as well as LIGHTWORKS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Douglas Kirkland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41006201733193,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/1556\/4361\/files\/Brigitte_Bardot.png?v=1739601149"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/1556\/4361\/collections\/Douglas_Kirkland.jpg?v=1739522494","url":"https:\/\/www.lightworksgallery.net\/collections\/douglas-kirkland.oembed","provider":"LIGHTWORKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
