About Jane Birkin

The artwork entitled “Jane Birkin,” created by Julian Schnabel in 1990, is an exemplary piece from the Neo-Expressionism art movement. This abstract work is part of the “Jane Birkin Paintings (1990)” series. The composition is distinguished by its unique shape and features the letters “J A N E” and “B I R K I N” arranged in a seemingly disjointed manner across a subtly textured, muted background.

Domineering the canvas are the prominent black letters, creating a stark contrast against the subdued, almost monochromatic surface which is punctuated by splashes of white and hints of red. The abstract nature of the artwork is heightened by the irregular, asymmetrical shape of the canvas, lending an organic, fractured quality to the piece. Schlumberger’s brushstrokes are deliberate yet appear spontaneous, embodying the raw, emotive intensity characteristic of the Neo-Expressionism movement. The overall composition evokes a sense of contemplation, urging viewers to explore the interplay between the graphical elements and the non-figurative background.
