Now that Kitaj has passed away, who's the greatest living American painter? I vote for Schnabel.

WHAT? FUCK!

Oh, and fuck Schnabel, too. Kitaj was the greatest draftsman and painter of his generation. Schanbel just makes movies to increase the value of his collection.

Kitaj was my favorite artist.

Isn't Schnabel the guy who glues broken plates to stuff?
