"Soliloque". Photo taken in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst's mixed-media work, "Soliloque," photographed in 1975 in the garden of the Seillans home he shared with Dorothea Tanning. Displayed outdoors on a board propped on a wooden stool, the assemblage features a multi-layered collage of patterned papers beneath a grille-like structure holding a single seashell. The composition is complemented by a sculpted, sun-like medallion and a small block with a suspended plumb bob. Set against a stone patio, the piece's three-dimensional qualities are emphasized by natural light and distinct shadows.
