More quotes by Julian Schnabel
There were some types of sanctions that happen in the public world that made my work acceptable, where someone looks at the paintings and they don't - they may go, okay, and then look at it in a different sort of way. Instead of just looking at it as some type of wild art, they look at it in a historical perspective or context.
Julian Schnabel
I want the paintings to take me or the viewer out somewhere else.
Julian Schnabel
I think beauty is a feeling that you get after you've had an experience. It's the way you feel about it that is beautiful.
Julian Schnabel
I wanted to show painting paintings first, then the plate paintings now I can show that I've sort of freed myself from stylistic inhibitions.
Julian Schnabel
I think basically I'm a painter, but I would use anything to make my point.
Julian Schnabel
It's nice to see your name in print. It's interesting.
Julian Schnabel
Sometimes my kids might tell me they had a dream or and maybe I'll paint some paintings from their dream. That's one good thing you get from your kids. Rob them of their dreams.
Julian Schnabel
I think, basically, I'm an abstract artist. I just think that that's not even an issue. I think everything's abstract.
Julian Schnabel

Julian Schnabel
Can I find a poetic that can be subversive enough to grab people in some subliminal way, to where they feel that they are altered and have had an experience that belonged to them?
Julian Schnabel
I think style is a fringe benefit that looks like you made it.
Julian Schnabel
Paintings are not like the Internet. They're not like movies. They're not electronic-friendly. You have to go see them. You have to stand in front of them. That's the great thing about them.
Julian Schnabel
There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?
Julian Schnabel
Traditionally, photography is supposed to capture an event that has passed but that is not what I'm looking for. Photography brings the past into the present when you look at it...
Julian Schnabel
I don't like building, I'm not a carpenter, I don't like constructions particularly and things like that, but placements and the kinds of psychological weight that different materials have is pretty interesting to me.
Julian Schnabel
I don't think people are terribly interested in young artists who were doing interesting thing, but I don't think people are terribly interested in young artists.
Julian Schnabel
I work with things left over from other things.
Julian Schnabel
The movie [Miral] is not pro-Palestinian. It's about Palestinians. It's a Palestinian story, written by a Palestinian person. I don't know anybody else that could have done that
Julian Schnabel
My compulsion is to create things.
Julian Schnabel
In a certain way, my work had set me up to be against lots of things. If there wasn't some sort of sanction for it in the public world, it might have been...it wouldn't have been tolerated, because people don't want things to get shaken up.
Julian Schnabel
