"Oedipus I" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

Max Ernst’s sculpture “Oedipus I” stands on a concrete ledge in the garden of the second house he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. The dark, anthropomorphic figure is set upon a tiered circular base and features a distinct head with an upturned nose and open mouth, and two wing-like appendages. Photographed in black and white, the sculpture is held in sharp focus, while the background landscape of distant hills is softly blurred.
