Sorry there is no Biography!


Prior to establishing his film career, Julian Schnabel made a name for himself (throughout the 1980s) as a "neo-expressionist" artist/painter (some of his paintings involved smashed plates glued to wooden panels). His work has been exhibited at art galleries around the world, and he has been known as the "self-proclaimed lion of the New York art world". Studied at the University of Houston, Texas from 1969 to 1973, where he received his B.F.A.. Father of five children: Stella Schnabel, Vito Maria Schnabel and Lola Schnabel with his first wife Jacqueline; the twins Cy Schnabel and Olmo Schnabel with his present wife Olatz López Garmendia. All of his children appeared on Before Night Falls (2000). Says he remains on good terms with his ex-wife Jacqueline, who lives seven blocks away from his New York home. His first solo show at the Mary Boone Gallery in 1979 made him a new force in the neo-expressionist movement. One year later, he was invited to participate at the Venice Biennale. Singing in a rock band in Brownsville, Texas, when he was a teenager, he released his first album "Every Silver Lining Has a Cloud", containing country-rock songs, in 1995. His art works are in museums throughout the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Created a pink, seven floors high Venezian palazzo with Romeo and Juliet balconies in Manhattan, where his family is living and his studio is situated.
