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?

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.

I'm not mannerist. I don't think I'm interested in mannerism. If I ever use it in a way, or if manner is like some kind of product of certain sorts of usage of different kinds of materials, then it's about involution or turning in on that.

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
Image
There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?

Image
I'm not saying I'm the only Jewish person who cares about Palestinian people, but unfortunately, their voices are not necessarily heard as loudly as they should be.
Julian Schnabel
Image
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
Image
I think basically I'm a painter, but I would use anything to make my point.

Image
Maybe my work looks a little crazy, a little insane, but I don't really see myself as a crazy artist or a shaman artist.

It doesn't matter what I think I am, it matters what I do.

Some people might think that the paintings are involved with a mythic - not just subject matter - but a certain sort of physical space that the paintings occupy...like personages.

I work with things left over from other things.
