Sophie's father is the sculptor and inventor Paul Matisse, a Harvard graduate. Her grandfather, Paul's father, was the distinguished Modern art dealer Pierre Matisse, who'd moved to America in the 1920s. Pierre was the youngest child of prominent 20th century painter Henri Matisse, Sophie's great-grandfather. Henri Matisse died in 1954, aged 85, eleven years before Sophie's birth. Family members expressed concern as to Sophie's use of the "Matisse" name, and in her youth she was discouraged from admitting to be a descendent of her famous great-grandfather. Only by incidentally noticing her family name on museum walls did Sophie come to consider that her great-grandfather may have been someone "exceptional. "Sophie Matisse's step-grandfather was the artist Marcel Duchamp, who famously reinterpreted Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" by adding a mustache. Duchamp married Sophie's grandmother Alexina "Teeny" Matisse, an American, in 1954 after she and Pierre Matisse divorced. Sophie has cited Duchamp as an influence, once saying "his presence stopped me from getting too serious. "Art writers have pointed to the "visual jokes" sometimes apparent in Sophie's own work as a sign of Duchamp's influence.
