Julian Schnabel Hat Full of Rain 1996 oil and marker on tarpaulin 180"x144"
Schnabel is a painter and film maker from New York. He was part of the neo-expressionist movement in painting in the early 80's. His persona was a huge part of what drove his career. Although a successful film maker he considers himself a painter first and foremost.
His abstract and text filled work is the most interesting to me. The plate paintings and a lot of the figurative work seems a bit forced for my taste. Adored or dismissed, he is a force in contemporary art.
