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

The stone villa in Seillans, home to Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning since 1971. In this 1975 photograph, the garden and patio are dotted with modern abstract sculptures, including a prominent bust on a pedestal. The two-story house, with its tiled roof and shuttered windows, sits before a wooded hill, its single-story wing defined by an arched loggia. Slender cypress trees stand against the rough-hewn stone walls, while a palm tree grows in the foreground.
