American director, painter and sculptor: a leading figure in the birth of neo-expressionism in painting through his expressive resonance and exuberance.
Both multifaceted and prolific, his creativity also spans music and photography. He is the author of five feature-films, among which Basquiat, Before Night Falls, and the celebrated The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. The Pappi Corsicato documentary, Julian Schnabel: A Private Portrait, is a fascinating portrait of the idiosyncratic artist, featuring commentary from people like Al Pacino, Bono and Laurie Anderson.
