Max Ernst's tools at his studio. With an African tribal art mask. Paris 1974.

In Max Ernst's Paris studio in 1974, a scene of creative work unfolds. Dominating the back wall is a large African tribal art mask, its circular head patterned with triangles. An array of hand tools hangs nearby, sharing the space with smaller sculptures and a calendar. The foreground is covered by a messy work table strewn with papers, a glass bottle, bowls, and various art-making materials.
