Artist Max Ernst and art historian Werner Spies are captured from behind at the opening of the retrospective "Dorothea Tanning: Oeuvre" at the Centre National d'Art Contemporain in Paris in 1974. Ernst, with his distinct white hair, and Spies contemplate one of Tanning's brightly illuminated nude sculptures. The grainy photograph, layered with reflections from the gallery space, conveys a quiet and contemplative atmosphere focused on the act of looking.
