Comments on: The Multitalented Mr. Schnabel

Morley Safer Profiles Julian Schnabel, A Titan Of The Film And Art World

[eudaly]

Mr. Schnabel was quite right to be appalled by Mr. Safer''s presenting Robert Hughes''s opinions of Schnabel''s art for comment. Hughes is to art criticism what Bill O''Reilly is to journalism.

While I don''t have a TV, I went on-line tonight to see the interview with Julian Schnabel. Delighted to find it and watched with glee. An entire wall in my tiny NYC apt. is decorated with Basquiat film photos and reproductions of the real Jean-Michel''s work. It is also an homage to Mr. Schnabel. I have said many times that if someone could make it possible for me to have lunch/dinner with one person in the whole world I admired, it would be Mr. Schnabel. I find him, his work, his brillance something really special. I am 66 yrs old so I''m not a groupie by any means. I just think this man is a genius for all times. Perhaps someday we will bump into each other on the street. Loved the interview. He never disappoints.

I found Mr. Schnabel to be arrogant and disrepectful. I am an artist and I can do the same stuff he does as can my 4 year old, I''m not a millionaire. I also think his wife is better off without him.

i am from brownsville, and had the pleasure of riding with julian to school, and hanging in the same crowd. even then, it was love/hate with who he was. i am sorry that he did not or was not able to portray who he is on 60 minutes. always he knew he wanted to be a painter, not always a director, now showing genius in that area, and always wanting to be liked. he has compared himself to picasso, and so be it. i am just happy that brownsville shaped him to be the director he is, sad that he cannot see beyond the hurts we all must walk through. shalom julian, and know that you are a shining star....but if you keep chipping at the glass, we get splinters!

Major ***, his art is kindergarten how did this guy get to be famous. Can''t 60 min. find anything more interesting to show on primetime?

Hello Mr. Safer

Concerning Mr. Schnabel and his artistic abilities
I have these two questions , if I may,,,

1 - were you assigned to cover this article or do you have an interest in Mr. Schnabel and chose to voluntarily do the story?

2 - would you buy any of the gentleman''s artwork.

just curious....

How can you possibly watch or listen to this *** after the Saudi Oil segment??? Disgusting. This is what is wrong with America. What does this person(notice I didn''t use man) add to our society? Anything positive??? How can we possibly hope to overcome the obstacles in front of us with people of such character???
