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

Abstract sculptures fill the terraced garden of the Seillans home of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in 1975. A large, dark sculpture, composed of a slender, totem-like form and a seated, horned figure, dominates a grassy area. In the background stands the two-story stone house with its tiled roof, dark shutters, and a patio with lounge chairs. A swimming pool is visible in the mid-ground, surrounded by stone paving and cypress trees scattered across the property, which is set against a wooded hillside.
