Brigitte Bardot Motorcycle 1960, Black and White Biker Poster Photography Print

The scent of gasoline and the grit of the open road find a surprising companion in the effortless grace of French cinema. This high-contrast black and white shot captures the actress in a rebellious leather jacket and shorts, leaning casually against the chrome and steel of a classic machine.

About Brigitte Bardot

Brigitte Bardot became an icon of 1950s and 1960s French cinema and style. Black-and-white prints sit comfortably in almost any room, from minimalist to traditional. Grain, soft contrast and period detail give vintage photographs a character that modern images rarely have.

Styling this Brigitte Bardot photograph

Black-and-white tones give this Brigitte Bardot photograph a moody character that holds a room. The tall format of “Motorcycle” suits narrow walls, hallways and the space beside a doorway, and it is a natural fit for a den or home office; 18×24″ is a versatile middle size. The monochrome tones of “Motorcycle” sit happily with warm or cool interiors alike; try a slim black frame with a generous white mat. “Motorcycle” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller black-and-white pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
