Julian Schnabel
Julian Schnabel (born New York, 1951) is an American painter and
filmmaker.
He obtained a BFA at the University of Houston in 1973, but did
not come to prominence as an artist until the mid-1980s when he
became a major figure in the Neo-Expressionism movement. Many of
his best-known works are painted on collaged surfaces of broken
pottery, often on a wooden support.
Schnabel has written and directed two films: Basquiat (1996) and
Before Night Falls (2000). The latter he also produced. He was also
the painter, photographer and art director for the cover of the
Red Hot Chili Peppers album '"By The Way" and illustrated
the Album The Raven by Lou Reed.
