In his Seillans studio in 1966, artist Max Ernst wears a paint-splattered jacket as he holds a block of wood and a tool. He looks toward the camera with a gentle expression, seated before his painting "Tremblement de terre printanier." The large, two-panelled artwork is composed of heavily textured, dark surfaces, one featuring deep vertical striations. To his left, another canvas displays a complex network of dark, calligraphic lines.
