The difference in approach between Margaret Kilgallen and Julian Schnabel can be clearly seen on the canvas. Ms. Kilgallen preferred to paint flat but striking images; he preferred street art over the main types of fine art. Street art is considered graffiti by a large number of people, as it is often placed without the knowledge of the property owner.Mr. Schnabel chose to engage in the artistic method of Neo-Expressionism, that artistic style that dominated the art market from the 1970s to the mid-1980s. The fascination with this type of art satisfied the hunger for something different and touched the public in different ways (Brenson). Kilgallen was born in Washington, D.C. in 1967 and attended Colorado College, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in printmaking in 1989. Her influences came from American and Indian folk art, hand-painted signs, and 15th century typography and 16th century (Kilgallen). His color palette was influenced by the early hand paintings of the southwestern United States; they were brown, pale yellow and black. She preferred to paint things happening around her, such as a woman sitting next to a man, or her husband painting graffiti on a wall. Kilgallen produced several very interesting paintings. One is a photograph of an elderly gentleman sitting in front of an old wooden fence or building. His appearance is a bit rough, with a short white beard and a baseball cap that says Weed, California. The clothes he wears are clean, but slightly worn, and he wears several layers, as if he spends a lot of time outside. He has an intense look on his face as if he is feeling sad; or if he has regrets. He painted a woman sitting... in the center of the paper... it's important. Both of these artists have large followings now and will long into the future. Works Cited Bonetti, David. “SFGate.com.” July 7, 2001. SFGate.com. Chronicle of San Francisco.
