Max Ernst at his studio. Seillans 1975. On the wall a Nafana Bedu Mask, Ivory Coast.
Photographed from a high, wide-angle vantage point, artist Max Ernst sits at a table laden with papers and books in his Seillans studio in 1975. The fish-eye lens captures the entire high-ceilinged space, filled with furniture, supplies, and works in progress. Among the many objects is a large, paddle-shaped Nafana Bedu mask from the Ivory Coast, hanging on the wall to the right. The lens’s distortion curves the foreground, framing the artist within his creative environment.
