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

Photographed from a low angle in 1975, Max Ernst's sculpture "Moonmad" stands in the garden of the house he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans. The abstract, biomorphic figure has a dark, weathered surface, its form emphasized by stark sunlight. Crowned with two horns, the round head features two small eyes and a large, open mouth, creating an expression of surprise. It is situated on a rustic stone wall, one of several sculptures receding into the hilly landscape.
