Assemblage "Première pensée in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.
Max Ernst’s assemblage “Première pensée” is captured in the garden of the Seillans home he shared with Dorothea Tanning, 1975. The mixed-media work, signed and dated 1966, rests on a wooden chair against a backdrop of a stone patio and a sunlit hillside. Its composition features a large circle resembling a sun or moon above a rectangular area. This lower section includes dark, slat-like elements flanking a central square, which contains an abstract, bird-like figure surrounded by curving white lines and a delicate rendering of a fern frond.
