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

Max Ernst’s sculpture "Moonmad" stands in the garden of the home he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. Photographed from a slightly low angle, the monumental artwork presents a surreal, anthropomorphic form. Made of a dark, weathered material, its flattened disc-like head features a gaping mouth and two horn-like crescents. The sculpture’s complex, curvilinear body and arched legs create a stark silhouette against the bright, overcast sky, set amidst cypress trees and a low stone wall.
