The Snail
''The Snail'' ''(L'escargot)'' is a collage by Henri Matisse.
The work was created from summer 1952 to early 1953. It is pigmented with gouache on paper, cut and pasted onto a base layer of white paper measuring 9'4" × 9' 5" (287 × 288 cm). The piece is in the Stedelijk museum collection in Amsterdam.〔(Henri Matisse, ''The Snail'' 1953 ), Tate Gallery, retrieved August 5, 2012]〕
It consists of a number of colored shapes arranged in a spiral pattern, as suggested by the title. Matisse first drew the snail, then used the colored paper to interpret it. The composition pairs complementary colors: Matisse gave the work the alternative title ''La Composition Chromatique'' (chromatic composition).〔 From the early-to-mid-1940s Matisse was in increasingly poor health, and was suffering from arthritis. Eventually by 1950 he stopped painting in favor of ''gouaches découpées'', paper cutouts.〔("Henri Matisse" ), Pompidou Centre. Retrieved 25 December 2007.〕 ''The Snail'' is a major example of this final body of works.
