Max Ernst's tools at his studio. With an African tribal art mask. Paris 1974.

In Max Ernst's Paris studio, 1974, an African tribal art mask hangs centrally on a wall, surrounded by an array of tools including scrapers, pliers, and a small handsaw. Below, the cluttered workbench is covered with papers—one bearing the artist's name—along with mixing bowls, a bottle of yellow liquid, and other implements. A black leather jacket hangs to the left, contributing to the scene of active, creative chaos.
