Where Surrealism Meets the Desert Landscape.
Step back into 1947 with this iconic photograph by John Kasnetsis, capturing visionary surrealist artist Max Ernst and his wife, fellow artist Dorothea Tanning, at home.
Posing alongside Ernst’s monumental and enigmatic sculpture Capricorn at their studio dubbed Capricorn Hill in Sedona, Arizona, the couple radiates the raw, mythic spirit of mid-century surrealism. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Arizona cliffs, Capricorn stands as a testament to Ernst’s fascination with totemic forms and ancient symbolism—blending art, nature, and life into one seamless masterpiece.
