 Neo-Expressionism

b. 1951, Julian Schnabel

















































Julian Schnabel is one of the key figures of the American Neo-Expressionism, who became known for his large scale paintings that incorporated unusual materials, like wax, velvet, and broken ceramic plates. At the same time, Schnabel also became an accomplished film director: Before the Night Falls (2000) won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, and The Diving Bell and The Butterfly (2006) was nominated for four Academy Awards. Even though the success of his movies at times overshadowed his accomplishments as a painter, the artist remains prolific and sees himself as a painter first and foremost.
