Max Ernst working on the painting "Schwalbennest". Seillans 1966.

In his Seillans studio in 1966, Max Ernst works on his painting "Schwalbennest." Dressed in a knitted sweater, the artist hunches in concentration over a makeshift table—a wooden plank resting on two sawhorses. A small lamp clipped to his shoulder illuminates the large canvas as he uses both hands to press and rub a tool across its abstract surface, a dense web of chaotic lines against a dark background. The studio is filled with an easel, shelves of materials, and another large painting leaning against the wall.
