Julian Schnabel (1951)

[LCR]

"Almost all his canvases, I am writing in the summer - I was very young, when I have a passion. I still remember the smell of roses in the garden of my uncle Jack. I love writing in the open air. You know, in my studio there is no roof. It helps me see better, I can move away from work, looking at her with a completely different light at different times of the day. Weather also affects my work - they fade from the sun, covered with spots, mold, rain pours them from beating the wind. First I think that all these natural phenomena are ruining the picture, and then realize that they are helping. Freedom of matter exhibited in the sunlight, every summer - that's my motto. Schnabel.
