Born in Brooklyn, New York City to Esta and Jack Schnabel. Brooklyn (named after the Dutch town Breukelen) is one of the five boroughs of New York City. The City of New York ^[1] Schnabel moved with his family to Brownsville, Texas when still young. Brownsville is a city in and the County seat of Cameron County, Texas, United States. ^[2] Although he was Jewish, he attended a Marist Brothers Catholic school there. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ It was in Brownsville that he spent most of his formative years and where he took up surfing and resolved to be an artist. ^[3]

He received his B.F.A. at the University of Houston. In the USA the Bachelor of Fine Arts, usually abbreviated BFA, is the standard Undergraduate degree for students seeking a professional education in the The University of Houston (often referred to as " U of H," " UH," or " Houston " is a public doctoral/research After graduating, he sent an application to the independent study program at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. The Whitney Museum of American Art, often referred to simply as "the Whitney" harbors one of the most important collections of 20th century American art His application included slides of his work sandwiched between two pieces of bread; he was promptly accepted. ^[2] Struggling in the art world, Schnabel worked as a short-order cook and frequented Max's Kansas City, a restaurant-nightclub, while he worked on his art. Max's Kansas City was a Nightclub (upstairs and Restaurant (downstairs at 213 Park Avenue South between 17th and 18th Streets in New York City. In 1975, Schnabel had his first solo show at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston. Over the next few years he traveled frequently to Europe, where he was enormously impressed by the work of Antoni Gaudi, Cy Twombly and Joseph Beuys. Cy Twombly (born April 25 1928 is an American artist well known for his large scale freely-scribbled calligraphic style Graffiti paintings on solid fields of Joseph Beuys (ˈjoːzɛf ˈbɔʏs May 12, 1921 – January 23,

Art

It was with his first solo show, at the Mary Boone Gallery in 1979, however, that Schnabel would truly come to be regarded as a major new force in the art world. Mary Boone (born October 29, 1951) is the owner and director of the Mary Boone Gallery and was instrumental in the New York art market of the 1980's He participated at the Venice Biennale in 1980, and by the mid-1980s had become a major figure in the Neo-expressionism movement. The Venice Biennale (Biennale di Venezia also called in English the "Venice Biennial " is a major Contemporary art exhibition that takes place once Neo-expressionism was a style of modern Painting that emerged in the late 1970s and dominated the art market until the mid-1980s By the time he exhibited his work in a show jointly organized by Boone and Leo Castelli in 1981, he had become firmly established. Leo Castelli (born Leo Krauss on September 4, 1907, at Trieste, of Italian and Austro-Hungarian Jewish origin &ndash died August 21 His now famous "plate paintings"—large-scale paintings set on broken ceramic plates—received a boisterous and critical reception from the art world. A reputation for making brash pronouncements about his importance to the art world ( "I'm the closest thing to Picasso that you'll see in this *#@ life") engendered contempt from both colleagues and the viewing public. What was beyond doubt, however, was the vibrancy that Schnabel brought to the art scene. Using Kabuki theatre sets, velvet and animal hides, Schnabel's bold, somewhat confrontational style recalled the energy and daring of Picasso and Pollock. is a form of traditional Japanese theatre. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate Make-up worn by some of its performers Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso (October 25 1881 &ndash April 8 1973 Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28 1912 &ndash August 11 1956 was an influential American painter and a major force in the abstract expressionist movement

Schnabel's signature works contain an underlying edge of brutality, while remained suffused with compositional energy. Schnabel claims that he's "aiming at an emotional state, a state that people can literally walk into and be engulfed. "

Schnabel insists he is a painter first and foremost, though he is more well known for his films.

“

Painting is like breathing to me. It’s what I do all the time. Every day I make art, whether it is painting, writing or making a movie. [4]

”

Despite the fact that producing The Diving Bell and the Butterfly might seem like a commission to do someone else's work, Schnabel took on the film. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a 2007 film based on the Memoir of the same name by Jean-Dominique Bauby. According to Schnabel,

I used to go up to read to Fred Hughes, Andy Warhol’s business partner, who had multiple sclerosis. And as Fred got worse, he ended up locked inside his body. I had been thinking that I might make a movie about Fred when his nurse, Darren McCormick, gave me Bauby’s memoir, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Then, in 2003, when my father was dying, the script arrived from Kennedy. So it didn’t feel quite like taking on a commissioned job. ^[5]
