The studio of Max Ernst. Seillans 1975.

The studio of Max Ernst in Seillans, photographed in 1975. A large wooden trestle table dominates the foreground, covered in a chaotic array of papers, open books, and art-making materials. An empty easel stands to the left, while on the back wall, a large abstract piece hangs next to an oval, patterned shield. A staircase, its side a collage of small pictures, leads upward, with the space beneath converted into shelving for books and supplies. The entire room suggests a dynamic and lived-in creative environment.
