The center of gravity in the physical sense for Max Ernst on this planet was nothing less but the desert of Sedona, in Arizona. He found it when on his way traveling in a car with his partner Dorothea Tanning. His impression was that his entire life he painted this place and then Sedona found him, as a response he had to build a house, in full solitude, with famous sculptures watching over the inhabitants, they are called Capricorn.

“The role of the painter… is to project that which sees itself in him.” by Max Ernst
