The artwork titled “Jane Birkin #3 (Vito),” created by Julian Schnabel in the year 1990, belongs to the Neo-Expressionism art movement and falls under the abstract genre. This piece is part of Schnabel’s “Jane Birkin Paintings (1990)” series.
The artwork presents a bold and dynamic composition, characterized by broad strokes of paint and varied textures. The background is predominantly light, while abstract forms and splashes of color, primarily reds and whites, create a focal point. The shapes and lines are irregular and seem to bring a sense of movement and raw emotion. The overall appearance is asymmetrical, with the left edge of the artwork tapering to a point, adding to its abstract nature. Elements of smudging and smearing contribute to the expressive quality, which is indicative of Schnabel’s style within the Neo-Expressionism movement.
