RAEMY, LEONARDBrigitte
Bardot arrête son cinéma.
Éditions Multiprint, Monaco, s.d.
Collector's box 50 x 50 cm, numbered. Limited edition of only 300 copies.
This album is part of the DESTINS collection from Jay Gatsby Editions, dedicated to the great movie stars. "The photos in this boxed set, which we are deliberately presenting in a disorderly fashion to better reflect Brigitte's exuberant omnipresence at the time, tell the story of how our beloved idol, over the course of five years, gradually emerged from the business, only to leave it." - Henry-Jean Servat

French icon, actress with a legendary beauty, model for the greatest photographers, Brigitte Bardot gradually moved away from the film world to devote herself fully to the animal cause. However, despite her retirement from the 7th art, Bardot continued to be photographed for over 16 years by Léonard de Raemy, "one of my most talented photographers, but also a precious friend" (BB).

This boxed set gathers 100 photos by Léonard, of remarkable aestheticism, often rare and unpublished, commented by Henry-Jean Servat, BB's faithful friend, but also sometimes by Bardot herself.

Printed on high-quality paper, we rediscover famous portraits of the actress, actresses Brigitte worked with, film costumes that marked her career, but we also discover photos taken on the fly, a smile, a look, photos of Bardot with animals, such as a rabbit or a chimpanzee, which reveal a more intimate side of the actress.

"We were accomplices and I had total confidence in him, which allowed him to capture expressions and moments of life that only he has immortalized. (BB).

Box in perfect condition.
