American Modernism
Schnabel, Julian
Childhood 4. 2016. Giclée colour pigment print on copperplate paper. 79.8 x 57.3 cm. Signed, dated and numbered. Mounted in places on a backing board. Framed under glass. – Very slight crease on the lower right-hand edge; overall in very good condition. An excellent print with vibrant colours and high contrast, filling the entire sheet.
One of 45 copies. – Sheet 4 from the 4-part portfolio of the same name. – Published by Geuer & Geuer Art GmbH, Düsseldorf. - In the print series ‘Childhood’, Julian Schnabel explored a significant event in American history, depicting the iconic battle scene showing the hard-fought victory of the American troops under George Washington over the British forces. The victory marked the beginning of American independence. For this work, Schnabel used the ‘American Revolution Wallpaper’ – which hung in the White House until 1999 – as his source material. Through colour alterations, he creates contrasts with the charged scene, frames the heroism with light purple accents, and also adds another layer by imitating tears and alluding to the wallpaper, which was taken down after 1999 and hung in another location.
