Max Ernst. Behind him the painting "Tremblement de terre printanier". Seillans 1966.

In his Seillans studio in 1966, the artist Max Ernst sits on a simple metal stool, looking directly at the camera. Dressed in a paint-splattered work jacket over a collared shirt, he holds an artist's tool in his hands. Directly behind him on an easel stands his large abstract painting, "Tremblement de terre printanier," its surface a complex network of dark, calligraphic lines over a lighter, textured background.
