In terms of selling the brand “Schnabel, this image will do. Lacking any life and infused with a stiff plastic template, the marriage of a big heartless bank and a buffed-up fraud like herr Schnabel is made in heaven (Madison Avenue for the suits). Why no plates? Schnabel has ridden that one trick pony so long I’m surprised with the big leap of creative faith! Banks and artists are like Hollywood and good story telling; a world apart.

Brilliant! Great comparison. And don’t you think El Schnabel took some liberties with his girth, which, if rendered realistically would have made him more Late Marlon Brando than Kirk Douglas? So 30 minutes is all it takes for Mr. Genious Macho to “get” you, make some broad strokes and break a few plates?
