A room in the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. Seillans 1974.

The living room in the Seillans home of artists Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning, photographed in 1974.

In one corner, a tall, carved tribal statue is entwined with a climbing plant. The foreground seating area includes a wicker armchair and a coffee table displaying a distinctive star-shaped object.
