Sculptures in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.
Sculptures populate the sunlit stone terrace of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning’s second house in Seillans, 1975. The terrace, paved with irregular flagstones and featuring a round stone table, overlooks a hilly, rural landscape. Along a low, rustic wall, abstract and totem-like pieces are displayed against a view of tree-covered hills. Strong Mediterranean light casts distinct shadows across the scene, punctuated by a tall cypress tree.
