Max Ernst. Behind him the painting "Tremblement de terre printanier". Seillans 1966.

In his Seillans studio in 1966, artist Max Ernst sits with an intense, direct gaze. He wears a paint-splattered jacket, holding a tube of paint and a small palette in his hands. Behind him on an easel rests his large abstract painting, "Tremblement de terre printanier," its complex network of dark, intersecting lines contrasting with a textured, lighter background. The lighting emphasizes the rich textures of the artist’s weathered face, his work-worn clothes, and the canvas.
