"Moonmad" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

In the garden of their second house in Seillans in 1975, Max Ernst's sculpture "Moonmad" is positioned on a rustic stone wall. The abstract, totem-like bronze form is anthropomorphic, with a mask-like head featuring a wide-open mouth and asymmetrical horns, one a crescent moon. Its body combines a flattened, ring-shaped torso with a central void and a slender column that splits into an arch at its base. Strong sunlight casts distinct shadows, highlighting the work against the soft-focus garden background.
