From: A FAN Category: Art Date: 25 January 2010 Time: 03:02 PM Review: When will it be fashionable to like Schnabel again? I thought the tide had turned about two years ago with the accolade brought about from the Diving Bell. Schnabel is a first rate painter, his work has been consistently challenging throughout his career and ontop of that -with the exception of most of those plate paintings from the eighties- it has been really beautiful. The world would be a duller place without the machismo Julian provides as their are very few established painters hitting the heights in terms of ambition and a drive for progression that Schnabel does.
