São Paulo's São Paulo Museum of Art holds 2 works by Henri Matisse (1869–1954) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Matisse's great achievement was colour — the way flat areas of bold, unmodulated hue create space, emotion, and rhythm. His canvases are deceptively simple in reproduction; in person, the relationships between colours become physically present in a way that is impossible to convey on screen.
