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

Photographed from a low angle, Max Ernst's sculpture "Moonmad" appears monumental in the garden of the home he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1975. The dark, totemic work features a round head with circular eyes, an open mouth, and asymmetrical horns. It is one of several abstract forms arranged along a stone walkway, its long, dark shadow cast by the bright sun.
