At the studio of Max Ernst. Seillans 1975.

In 1975, the camera captures the creative disarray of Max Ernst’s studio in Seillans. The spacious, high-ceilinged room is filled with the tools of his trade: easels, a large flat file cabinet, and leaning canvases. A central work table on sawhorses is heaped with papers and supplies. On the wooden floor sits an overflowing wicker wastebasket and a cardboard box for "Kronenbourg" beer. Sketches, including one of a corset, are tacked to a wall, echoing a larger framed piece hanging nearby.

Artworks:

"Le rire des poètes", 1968, Fotovergrösserung auf Leinwand. Spies/Metken:4404, I
