A room in the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. Seillans 1975.

A fisheye lens captures the spacious and eclectic living room of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning’s second house in Seillans, 1975. A large brass telescope on a tripod dominates the foreground, while the background reveals a mix of art and furnishings. These include a long sofa, wicker armchairs, paintings, a carved wooden figure, and a dining area set before a brick fireplace. A light-colored herringbone floor is partially covered by a large rug with a bold geometric design.
