A room in the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. Seillans 1974.

In 1974, a spacious room in the second Seillans home of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning combines living and dining areas under the light of large, arched windows. On the light wood parquet flooring, a seating group is arranged on a dark rug, with a large forest landscape painting hanging above a console table. To the right, a tall, totem-like sculpture stands beside a textured wall displaying figurative nudes. A dark wood dining table with ladder-back chairs occupies the foreground. A fisheye lens imparts a distinct curvature to the room's straight lines.
