Large museum housing many French and Italian paintings, as well as a vast collection of Western Latin American art
The MASP, the city's major museum, is the largest space for Western art in Latin America. It features works from the French, Italian and, to a lesser extent, Spanish, Portuguese, Flemish, Dutch, English and German schools of painting.
The museum is housed in a building designed by architect Lina Bo Bardi in 1968. The controversial Brutalist building, with its four gigantic red pillars and all-glass rectangular body, has become a symbol of the city.
Italian painting. Don't miss Botticelli's Madonna and Child. Italian Renaissance works include the Madonna by the Bigallo Master, Raphael's Resurrection of Christ, and Piero di Cosimo's Woman and Child.
French painting. Renaissance Mannerists are the main focus of the exhibition, notably rococo master François Lemoyne with his neoclassical Picnic on the Hunt. We then move on to the Impressionists, with canvases such as Rose et Bleue by Cézanne, as well as other works by Manet, Degas, Monet and Renoir, the Post-Impressionists (Gauguin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec), some works by Fauvism (Matisse), Cubism (Léger, Picasso), Surrealism (Duchamp, Ernst, Miró and Chagall)... Some works by El Greco and Goya.
Collection of Brazilian art from the 17th century to the present day: mainly modernist artists such as Tarsila do Amaral, Anita Malfatti and Lasar Segall.
