Max Ernst's tools at his studio. With an African tribal art mask. Paris 1974.
In Max Ernst's Paris studio in 1974, a collection of the artist’s tools hangs on a wall, organized around a large African tribal art mask. The wooden sculpture is flanked by an assortment of hand tools, including trowels, a hammer, pincers, and a saw. A heavy fabric apron hangs to the left, while coils of wire are suspended from the saw’s handle on the right. In the lower corner, a metal box with a small level resting on top is visible on a surface.
