Sculpture in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.
Three abstract, anthropomorphic sculptures stand on a gravel clearing in the garden of the Seillans home of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning, 1975. Made of light-colored stone, the figures are set against a dense evergreen hedge. The central bust, with a flat-topped head and deep eye sockets, is flanked by a seated figure on a throne-like chair and a standing sculpture featuring a wide, carved smile.
