In the year of A Memory of Oceania and The Snail (1953) Matisse explained the importance and the nature of artistic seeing:
Seeing is of itself a creative operation, one that demands effort. Everything we see in our ordinary life undergoes to a greater or lesser degree the deformation given by acquired habits, and this is perhaps especially so in an age like ours, when cinema, advertising and magazines push at us a daily flood of images which, all ready-made, are to our vision what prejudice is our intelligence. The necessary effort of detaching oneself from all that kind of courage, and this courage is indispensable to the artist calls for a who must see all things as if he was seeing them for the first time. All his life he must see as he did when he was a child.
