“Christ’s Last Day (II),” created by artist Julian Schnabel in the year 2000, is a work within the Neo-Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of abstract artwork.
The artwork features vigorous and emotive brushstrokes which dominate a pale lilac background. Through its abstract composition, the letters ‘L A S T’ and a partial ‘D A Y’ can be discerned amidst the dynamic interplay of dark, sweeping lines and occasional patches of brown and white. The visual intensity and rawness of the strokes evoke a sense of urgency and drama, characteristic of Schnabel’s Neo-Expressionist style. The fragmented and obscured textual elements, combined with the bold, impassioned application of paint, create a compelling visual narrative that invites contemplation and emotional engagement.
