Quotes
Julian Schnabel: My expression is an expression of the world, not of the self. It's an expression of what I think things seem like now. The job of the painting is not just to sit on the wall and decorate a room. I think that its job is to embody certain meaning that can affect whoever is looking at it, and change their recognition of what life is. Maybe that's the job of the artist.
