I enjoyed the discourse in perspective. In 1973 I was a house mate with Julian in a wonderful historic railroad masters house on the edge of downtown in Houston while he was at UH and with his surf buddies from his high school days living near the Gulf. He was the catalyst for getting the others to agree to let me have a room while I worked at a Steak n Ale. I was all of 19 yrs old and totally clueless. He had just received a grant from the Whitney to go to NYC. Our immediate block had local icons in the art and music scene including the owners of a legendary bar, Liberty Hall, where his later to be buddy and future neighbor, Lou Reed played with the Velvet Underground. He has no idea of his influence on me in art and the people I was to be later associated with, being resourceful and also he was life saving since I came out of loving in multiple foster homes. I was on my own and was finishing high school when we met to. He introduced me into contemporary art and my first connection with artists in our Houston community. He often had me come along to visit his artist friends and to my first thrift store experience where he often bought his baggy white painter’s pants. Before I did not even know about thrift stores or the world of contemporary art. So much serendipity with the personal stories. I often say life without art and music is stupid. And in some cases it’s life saving. It’s unfortunate our education system has been watered down by a govt lack of investing in our societal values and the importance of having art and music in various forms in our public education. I now have a huge art collection mostly from established artists I have gotten to know and do business with over the years. After being asked to be a programmer at Houston’s Pacifica KPFT radio for an art show interviewing his neighbor Laurie Anderson who was touring here . Later I had the opportunity to curate an exhibit at the Art Car Museum, Musicians Who Make Art which included two of his good friends from his time here.
I respect the openness and affability of Julian in explaining his inner workings. The mention of "what doesn't kill you mskes you stronger" indicates his concerns with mortality and legacy etc, and it immediately provided me with a humsnising connect with his personality. Very interesting. Thanks!
Beautiful! Both in conversation and visually. These paintings appear to exude optimism, especially during our current landscape. Loved hearing them contextualized from the artist, himself.
Lo interesante en este caso es siempre la libertad con la cual Julian se muestra a través de lo personal. Siempre existe una especie de ausencia comprometida con alguna situación o algo (de su idea), un descompromiso al no querer "ver" en principio su arte /Ó/ el ser elogiado, o discutido o analizado (lo que en nuestros rápidos y tecnológicos tiempos ya se vuelve difícil de asumir a no ser que entre amigos sinceros y con absoluta franqueza se sienten a platicar sobre arte o la obra en cuestión, como común era antes! . Sobre la muestra en cuestión puedo decir que no siempre los formatos libres ayudan al concepto o los motivos abstractos.Si existen obras aquí que comunican bastante lo que siempre leí y leo en sus pinturas, no todas eso si!...Y que me recuerdan en cierta forma su expo en Gagosian gallery US, exposición bastante conseguida, acertada y profesional. Para resumir dejo acá mi felicitación a Schnabel por este nuevo proyecto expositivo mostrando más de su trabajo y compartirlo con el público. Raonel desde Lisboa, Portugal.
Is the coffee mug now a requirement for interviews? Despite my opinion that Julian S. Is narcissistic , he is still an artist of unique talent and worthy of your attention and respect. Just put the coffee mug down, any action to take the attention away from Julian S. and place it on yourself is childish.
feh ... HE is certainly a force but the work ? ng a product of the bs world of $ "gallerists" --- neither accomplished design nor artisanship ... awful the ONLY thing it is is recognizable ...pretty ugly ... by by HIM. a product of the times it is good it i NOT
I saw it in a empty gallery and absolutely loved it

Thanks!
Two, superb artists in their own right. Very interesting talk. I never get bored of listening to Julian.
Poetically soothing. Sums up this year’s feels.

lovely conversation.
'I'm very happy just to , be able to work and not be in a cage.' Prophetic words.
Julian is a true painter. He keeps evolving, moving on. Really inspiring. USA
VERY AWESOME> Thanks for showing.
Plainspoken, no bullshit. I like the way Schnabel keeps coming back to making art as a personal experience.
Name dropping...is that how he gets ahead?

Beautiful work ! 💙
I enjoyed this.
Hello to James Nares (who i knew a bit back in the LES) ... gorgeous paintings by Schnabel ...
Me encantó oir esta conversación. Siempre me ha gustado la búsqueda de libertad de Julian y su sinceridad. Por eso es mi pintor preferido.
Just like the way Julian talks, explains like a true artist
The sonofabitch can work any audience. 🌹
Great interview
Love this so much
I enjoyed this easy talk between friends.
Awesomeness
God what I would give to have a conversation with Julian.

"I'm very happy to just to, be able to work and not be in a cage": sums up his work to me
There is indeed a "palpable feeling of wind".
This is like witnessing a conversation between Picasso and Matisse. How lucky we are.
Congrats : first spit take today. That is a funny one!!
yes
where did you go surf
I'm not in love yet, but interested. Perhaps consideration for another date is in order?
Good point - drawing lines

He's a big man but he's in bad shape. With me it's a full time job.

I like his films, especially The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, but I've always found his paintings both boring and ugly.
I really do not like his art. But that’s OK, right?
