Sculptures in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorthea Tanning in Seillans, where they lived since 1971. Seillans 1975.

The rustic, two-story stone house of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning nestles on a terraced hillside in Seillans, their home since 1971. A large, modern sculpture stands on an upper terrace in the garden, to the far left. Tall cypress and palm trees are planted around the property, which features an arched loggia and a dense hedge in the foreground. This 1975 photograph captures the blend of formal landscaping with the rugged, wooded environment.
