Sculpture "Capricorne" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1974.

Max Ernst’s sculpture "Capricorne" stands in the garden of the home he shared with Dorothea Tanning in Seillans, 1974. The complex bronze work, set on a stone plinth, features an enthroned, bull-headed figure holding a staff. A sinuous, bird-like creature sits beside it, while a third monster-like form appears to howl at its base. The black and white photograph emphasizes the surrealist artwork’s powerful forms and textures against the hilly landscape.
