Like artists are photo by John Levy wont to do, Matisse studied the minute, snails in this case, in their ability to spiral or to grow linear at will. While he was on his deathbed, he considered the oft-dubious relationship we have with the external world, and how it stone and lichen can be a great comfort to shell up. So, he asked for paper and scissors, and he began the snail’s composition. Onto a white mat, he framed the area we are brother and sister in asymmetrical strips of orange paper, then he cut out eleven shapes of this rock and i sundry colors and arranged them. How not unlike we are to Matisse’s elder as wind, rain and sun self, a snail.
