The studio of Max Ernst. Seillans 1975.

In 1975, the Seillans studio of Max Ernst is a space of creative profusion. Under exposed ceiling beams, the room is filled with easels, plan chests, and stacked canvases. A large surrealist work depicting a corset dominates one wall, flanked by a carved, shield-like object and a small totem. Along the floor, a low bookshelf overflows with jars and paint tubes, beside which sits an old radio and a Kronenbourg beer box from 1974. Jackets hanging on a door complete the scene of a well-used workspace.


Artworks:

  • "Le rire des poètes", 1968, Fotovergrösserung auf Leinwand. Spies/Metken 4404, I
  • On the floor "The great Ignoramus" ("Le grand ignorant"), 1965
