"An Anxious Friend" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

The sculpture "An Anxious Friend" stands in the garden of the Seillans home of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning, 1975. Composed of stacked geometric blocks, the abstract, anthropomorphic figure is set on a stone terrace overlooking a valley. Its rectangular head features round, recessed eyes and a circular mouth, while a jagged, zipper-like detail splits its torso. A tall, slender cypress tree rises beside the modernist work, its sharp verticality contrasting with the sculpture's blocky form.
