At the studio of Max Ernst. Seillans 1975. On the wall a Nafana Bedu Mask, Ivory Coast.

The spacious, high-ceilinged studio of artist Max Ernst in Seillans, 1975. The room is filled with creative clutter, from a large worktable covered in papers to a tall, stylized humanoid sculpture at left. On the far wall, above a long workbench, hangs a Nafana Bedu Mask from the Ivory Coast. To the right, an artist’s easel holds a blank canvas, while a wooden-railed mezzanine overlooks the active workspace.
