However, in relation to imagetic material, specifically the artistic-pictorial works (paintings) situated in different places, there is little literature about the theme, in spite of communicative and documentary importance these materials can offer. Considering image as a source of information and as an element that can be analyzed and represented, the conceptual framework of the area concerning this theme is presented, intending to identify methodologies of informational treatment, specific of this kind of document. In this perspective, with the purpose of evidencing the state of art in Paulista scene, four representative art institutions of the state of S?o Paulo are observed. Analysis and proposals are elaborated in order to adjust the methodologies found in literatures of the area to the national context, taking into account the economic and the social limits. Two essays with two representative works of the studied museums are made to demonstrate the possibility of appliance of the proposals. Finally, the considerations about the theme reveal the situation of documentary backwardness of Brazil in relation to the developed countries, making the position of museums and painting collection galleries clear in relation to the public: the contemplation. On the other hand, this search demonstrates real possibility of changing this framework, through the application of suggested proposals, expressing worries about the generation of knowledge to the user. This research utilized the inductive method, starting of data observer specifically in each museum with the intent of a general reality. / As atividades que compreendem o tratamento informacional s?o amplamente estudadas e aplicadas pela Ci?ncia da Informa??o no que diz respeito aos documentos impressos, convencionalmente encontrados em bibliotecas e centros de informa??o. Por?m, em rela??o aos materiais imag?ticos, especificamente as obras art?stico-pict?ricas (pinturas) situadas em ambientes diferenciados encontram-se escassas literaturas, apesar da import?ncia comunicativa e document?ria que estes materiais podem oferecer. Partindo da concep??o da imagem como fonte de informa??o e elemento pass?vel de ser analisado e representado, apresenta-se o quadro conceitual da ?rea no que concerne a esta tem?tica, intentando identificar metodologias de tratamento informacional espec?ficas desta tipologia de documento. Nesta perspectiva, com o prop?sito de evidenciar o estado da arte em cen?rio paulista, recorre-se ? observa??o de quatro institui??es de arte representativas do estado de S?o Paulo. An?lises e propostas s?o elaboradas a fim de adequar as metodologias encontradas na literatura da ?rea ao contexto nacional, considerando os limites econ?micos e sociais. Para demonstrar a possibilidade de aplica??o destas propostas, s?o realizados dois ensaios com duas obras representativas dos museus estudados. Por fim, as considera??es revelam a situa??o de atraso document?rio do Brasil em rela??o aos pa?ses desenvolvidos, tornando clara a posi??o dos museus e pinacotecas em rela??o ao p?blico: a contempla??o. Em contrapartida, esta pesquisa demonstra clara possibilidade de modifica??o deste quadro, atrav?s da aplica??o das propostas sugeridas, manifestando preocupa??es quanto ? gera??o de conhecimentos para o usu?rio. Utilizou-se para esta pesquisa o m?todo indutivo, partindo-se de dados observados especificamente em cada museu com o intuito de se chegar a uma realidade gen?rica.
