The Five Graces
He created The Five Graces in the summer of 1990 in Montauk an Long Island. Numerous disussions had preceded it, for the intention was to capture several pictures, as it were, within one single frame, for the Museum had reserved space for a single picture.

The picture was produced outdoors, in the open air. Schnabel spread the heavy canvas - actually it resembles a tarpaulin more than canvas - out an the ground. One after the other, pieces of clothes steeped in violet paint were very carefully but also vigorously pressed onto this background in such a manner that the form itself bears the traces of a sequence of movement. The result are slender structures that almost appear engraved; in fact, they have the fibrous feel of plants about them. They float across the picture as if some light breeze had lifted them off the ground, an impression intensified by two things. On the one hand, by the concentric form an the extreme left, which is being blown from outside into the main body of the picture - it is as if one could hear the rustle of the wind on the ground. On the other, by the other shape on the canvas whose contours are by white brush strokes, emphasizing the element of a world suspended in the air. (I can well imagine that a vacuum would arise if this white form were to be absent.) The picture bears a playful title that is nevertheless meant seriously. Admittedly, Greck mythology only mentions three Graces, but it does after all involve nine Muses. Graces und Muses have similar functions. The representation of the three Graces has a certain affinity with the representation of the Judgment of Paris - but, to remain with numbers, we also speak of the five senses. Each of these forms develops a grace of its own - to the extent of kindling associations with sign language floating, gesturing tenderly before the eyes of the beholder. At the same time, each of these structures could be one and the same form in a respectively altered state. Last but not least, the work exists by virtue of a contradiction. The forceful impression left by the clothes steeped in paint simultaneously frees the structures from the drag of gravity: they become stable and unstable, indeterminate and yet determinate at one and the same time, oscillating in one and the same place.

Die fünf Grazien
Das Bild The Five Graces (Die fünf Grazien) entstand im Sommer 1990 in Montauk auf Long Island. Vorausgegangen waren zahlreiche Gespräche, ging es doch darum, gewissermaßen mehrere Bilder in ein einziges zu bannen, in Anbetracht dessen, daß es sich im Museum um ein Einzelbild handeln würde.

Das Bild entstand draußen, in der freien Natur. Schnabel hatte die starke Leinwand, die mehr einer Plane gleicht, auf dem Boden ausgebreitet. Mit violetter Farbe durchtränkte Tücher wurden in der Folge kraftvoll mit größter Sorgfalt auf die Unterlage gepreßt, und zwar so, daß sich innerhalb der Form selbst ein Bewegungsablauf ergibt. Feingliedrige, fast ziselierte Gebilde sind entstanden, man möchte sagen pflanzlicher Natur. Sie schweben durch das Bild, als hätte ein leichter Luftstoß sie vom Boden abgehoben. Dieser Eindruck wird zum einen verstärkt durch die konzentrische Form links außen, die sich vom Rand her ins Bildfeld schiebt - man glaubt das raschelnde Bodengeräusch des Windes zu hören -, zum anderen durch die mit weißen Pinselstrichen umrißartig markierte Fläche, die das schwebende Moment unterstreicht. (Ich kann mir vorstellen, daß ohne diese weiße Form so etwas wie ein luftleerer Raum entstünde.) Der Titel ist spielerisch und gleichzeitig durchaus ernst gemeint. Zwar sind in der griechischen Mythologie nur drei Grazien bekannt, dafür aber neun Musen. Grazien und Musen haben eine vergleichbare Funktion. Die Darstellung der drei Grazien weist wiederum Verwandtschaften auf mit der Darstellung des Urteils des Paris, man spricht aber auch von den fünf Sinnen. Jedes dieser Gebilde entwickelt seine eigene Grazie - bis hin zur Assoziation mit der Taubstummensprache -, schwebend, zart gestikulierend vor den Augen des Betrachters, und gleichzeitig könnte jedes dieser Gebilde ein und dieselbe Form in einem je veränderten Zustand sein. Nicht zuletzt lebt das Werk auch von einem Gegensatz. Der kraftvolle Abdruck der farbdurchtränkten Tücher enthebt die Gebilde gleichzeitig ihrer Schwerkraft: stabil - unstabil, bestimmt - unbestimmt, scheinen sie am Ort zu oszillieren.
