Matisse deed op het laatst niets anders meer, deze is meestal te zien in Tate Modern in London:
The Snail was made by the Matisse at the height of his skill with cut-outs, or ‘drawings made with scissors’. Bed-ridden due to illness, the artist cut out shapes of paper - which had been pre-coloured with gouache - using large shears, and directed his assistants to pin them onto large sheets of white paper attached to the wall of the studio. When the composition was complete, the gouache was properly adhered onto a stretched support.
Van de website van Tate Modern alwaar ook een podcast en meer informatie over gebruikte technieken in dit werk en de conservatie ervan.
