Max Ernst working on the mock-up of the book "Max Ernst" by Edward Quinn. Seillans 1975.

In his Seillans home in 1975, artist Max Ernst, wearing dark-rimmed glasses and a V-neck cardigan, sits engrossed at a large wooden table. He carefully examines the mock-up of the book "Max Ernst" by photographer Edward Quinn, his hands resting on the pages of the thick, open volume. Behind him, against vertically striped wallpaper, hangs a large abstract painting. The quiet, studious atmosphere of the room, furnished with classic pieces, is captured in black and white, with the foreground slightly out of focus to draw attention to the artist and his book.
