Julian Schnabel (born October 26, 1951) is an American artist and filmmaker. In the 1980s Schnabel received international media attention for his "plate paintings"—large-scale paintings set on broken ceramic plates.
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.
He has won a Golden Globe, as well as BAFTA, a César Award, a Golden Palm, two nominations for the Golden Lion and an Academy Award nomination.
His paintings have been executed on the heroic scale for some time. He has also won attention for painting on tarpaulins, sails and other unexpected fabrics.
Schnabel lives in New York, maintaining studios in New York City and in Montauk on the eastern end of Long Island with a house in San Sebastian in Spain.[3] He has three children by his first wife, clothing designer Jacqueline Beaurang: two daughters, Lola, a painter and film-maker, Stella, a poet and actress, and a son, Vito, an art dealer.[10]
He also has twin sons, Cy and Olmo, by his second wife, Spanish Basque actress and model Olatz López Garmendia. Garmendia appeared in Before Night Falls, and is also to be seen in The Diving Bell, as Bauby's physical therapist.[3] Schnabel is fluent in Spanish.[citation needed] He also learned French to direct The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
Schnabel is currently in a relationship with Rula Jebreal.[11] Jebreal penned the screenplay, and original source novel, for Schnabel's film Miral.
His NYC home is at 360 West 11th Street. It is a former West Village horse stable that Schnabel purchased and converted for residential use, adding five luxury condominiums in the style of a Northern Italian palazzo. It is named the Palazzo Chupi and it's easy to spot because it is painted pink.[12]
