Julian Schnabel (b. 1951, New York) established himself as a leading artist in the American art world beginning in the late 1970s. He broke with the prevailing trend of Minimalism and restored painting’s emotional power and expressiveness. He also became known for the unconventional surfaces of his paintings, such as plates, textiles, or cardboard. His works are often influenced by religious and Mexican iconography. In addition to his highly acclaimed career as a painter, he also achieved worldwide success as a film director.
