Biography: 
1951 Born in New York, NY (US)
Julian Schnabel grew up in a Russian-Jewish neighborhood near Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. By three he was already painting, and by nine was studying at the Brooklyn Museum of Art He received his B.F.A. from the University of Houston in 1973, and that same year returned to New York to attend the Whitney Museum´s Independent Study program for young artists.
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.
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. Here he exhibited his now famous "plate paintings" -- large-scale paintings set on broken ceramic plates that created a striking tangle of dinnerware and plaster. Critical response to the exhibition was as boisterous as it was divided. But what was beyond doubt was the vibrancy that Schnabel brought to the art scene. Using kabuki theatrical sets, velvet and animal hides, his bold, somewhat confrontational style recalled the energy and daring of Picasso and Pollock.
Beyond the work, there was also the figure of Julian Schnabel himself. With a booming stock market driving up prices for contemporary art to unprecedented levels, artists were being transformed into a new kind of media star. Schnabel, brash and outspoken, reviled and adored, came to epitomize this resurgence of American art as part of popular culture.
