Timeline

1951

Julian Schnabel (born October 26, 1951) is an American painter and filmmaker.

1965

He moved with his family to Brownsville, Texas in 1965.

He received his B.F.A. at the University of Houston.

After graduating, he sent an application to the Independent Study Program (ISP) at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

His application included slides of his work sandwiched between two pieces of bread.

1973

He was admitted into the program and studied there from 1973 to 1975.

1975

In 1975, Schnabel visited Galveston and was introduced to the artist Joseph Glasco who had his home and studio in Galveston at that time.

Schnabel and Glasco became close friends and shared many similar interests in the arts.

Schnabel returned to Houston in 1975 and rented a studio in the Heights neighborhood.

Jim Harithas, director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, agreed to give him a show after Schnabel reportedly badgered him repeatedly.

1976

The eponymously titled exhibit ran from February 20 to March 7, 1976, in the parallelogram building's lower gallery.

On seeing the show, ARTnews critic Charlotte Moser wrote, "Though still formative, Schnabel's paintings possess a palpable presence," but found the work "clearly influenced by post-minimalist artists whose intellectual ideas he might share but whose technical expertise and clarity of vision he has yet to acquire."

1979

It was with his first solo show, at the Mary Boone Gallery in 1979 that Schnabel had his breakthrough; all his works were sold in advance.

1980

In the 1980s, he received international attention for his "plate paintings" — with broken ceramic plates set onto large-scale paintings.

Later in their relationship, Schnabel influenced Glasco to set up his studio in New York, and in the late 1980s introduced Glasco to Leslie Waddington of Waddington Galleries, London where he had an exhibition.

He participated at the Venice Biennale in 1980 with Anselm Kiefer and Georg Baselitz.

1981

By the time he exhibited his work in a show jointly organized by Boone and Leo Castelli in 1981, he had become firmly established and was the youngest artist in the legendary exhibition 'A New Spirit in Painting' in the Royal Academy of Arts.

His now famous "plate paintings" — large-scale paintings set on broken ceramic plates—received a boisterous and critical reception from the art world.

1984

In 1984, he surprised the art community by moving from working with Mary Boone to exhibit at the Pace Gallery.

His wild and expressive works were classed as neo-expressionism by art critics.

In the years to follow Schnabel's success on the art market would above all be criticised.

Schnabel's style is characterised by very large scale paintings.

He uses diverse materials such as plaster, wax, photographs, antlers, velvet and ceramics.

His paintings make use of canvas, wood, muslin and even surfboards.

His paintings often combine abstract and figurative elements.

Due to the size, weight, and depth of his works, they are often given sculptural properties.

1990

Since the 1990s, he has been a proponent of independent arthouse cinema.

Schnabel directed Before Night Falls, which became Javier Bardem's breakthrough Academy Award-nominated role, and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, which was nominated for four Academy Awards.

For the latter, he won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Director and the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, as well as receiving nominations for the Academy Award for Best Director and the César Award for Best Director.

Schnabel was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Jewish family, the son of Esta (née Greenberg) and Jack Schnabel.

Schnabel began his film career in the 1990s with the film Basquiat, a biopic on the painter Jean-Michel Basquiat (1996), followed by Before Night Falls (2000), an adaptation of Reinaldo Arenas' autobiographical novel, which he also produced, and which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

2002

In 2002, Schnabel painted the cover artwork for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' eighth studio album, By the Way.

The woman featured on the cover of By the Way is Julian's daughter, Stella Schnabel, who was band member John Frusciante's then-girlfriend.[59] Regarding the artwork, Frusciante noted: "My girlfriend's father offered to do the album art, so we sent him rough mixes of eight songs, and he just got the vibe of the album from that. He said that he wouldn't be offended if we didn't like it, but we loved what he did. He's also given us great covers for all the singles. He's a true artist."

2007

He directed The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), an adaptation (with a screenplay by Ronald Harwood) of a French memoir by Jean-Dominique Bauby.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly earned him the award for best director at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Globe for best director, the Independent Spirit Award for best director, and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director.

2010

Schnabel had an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, which ran from September 1, 2010 to January 2, 2011 and occupied the entirety of the gallery's fifth floor.

It examined "the rich interplay between Schnabel's paintings and films".

2011

In 2011 Museo Correr exhibited Julian Schnabel: Permanently Becoming and the Architecture of Seeing, a selected survey show of Schnabel's career curated by Norman Rosenthal.

Art critic Robert Hughes was one of the most outspoken critics of his work; he once stated that "Schnabel's work is to painting what Stallone's is to acting: a lurching display of oily pectorals."

2017

In the 2017 Swedish film The Square, set in a museum of modern art, Dominic West plays a character modeled on Schnabel.
