The artwork is titled “Bob’s Worlds” by Julian Schnabel, created in 1980. It belongs to the Neo-Expressionism movement and is classified under the figurative genre.
The artwork is a visual amalgamation, exhibiting Schnabel’s typical use of mixed mediums and fractured compositions. It consists of a central purple panel flanked by segments filled with broken ceramic plates. To the left, a shadowy, ghost-like figure is intricately painted against a neutral-toned background of broken ceramics. The right panel contrasts this with warmer tones and a composition that suggests movement and dynamism, evoking a narrative through its layered texture and fragmented imagery. The bold use of color and material embodies the emotional intensity and rawness characteristic of Neo-Expressionism.
