Max Ernst working on the painting "Schwalbennest". Seillans 1966.

With intense concentration, artist Max Ernst leans over his large painting "Schwalbennest" in his Seillans studio in 1966. Dressed in a V-neck sweater, he presses his hands onto the dark canvas, which features a complex, abstract pattern of light-colored, energetic lines. In black and white, the photograph captures a moment of focused, creative intimacy, with the studio's supplies and an easel visible in the soft-focus background.
