Excerpts from an interview between Max Schnitzler and Stuart Friedman, owner of NY School Art Gallery (regarding Max's beginnings in art):
I came from an Orthodox Jewish background and was born in Galizia(Austrian/Hungarian Empire)in 1903. From a very early age I was interested in making drawings. I always hated walls, doors and windows - it was the night before Passover. I looked at the blank wall and couldn't reach it to make a scribble. So, an idea came to me of using the end of the large bread baking board which was long, and then charring it - and then I had my charcoal. I drew a portrait of the Rabbi. When my mother saw this the next day, she was shocked and I still feel the pain on my bottom!
In 1920 we came to America. I was the only son and I had 5 sisters. We came to the land of oportunity escaping the ravages and persecutions of WWl. We lived in the Jewish section of NY City on Avenue C and 5th St. I knew nothing about NY but was told about a museum on Fifth Avenue. After going to this museum, things changed all at once. I never saw such wonderful art in all my life. I only spoke German at this time. There were two artists copying paintings there. They told me about Greenwich Village. I took the same bus that I took to the museum to the Village.
Pop, that's where I belong! I needed to be among artists. My father wanted me to be a baker and was not interested in my passion for art. Max left home and met two other amateur painters and moved near the river - avenue D or so. The rent was $12. per month. I struggled alot. I sometimes made a painting and sold it for a couple of dollars. I had to do other work to make the rent. I delivered packages for a ladies garment maker. I also worked from 6:00 to 12:00 as an elevator operator. I painted in the daytime.
By 1927, I got a fellowship and studied at the Art Academy in Paris. I took the first trip on the Ille d'France. My parents would not even see me off! I studied for 4 years with Leger, Lhote and Ozenfant. I had a show at Zborowski Gallery in Paris. This was a fine gallery that exhibited Soutine and Modigliani!
Back in NY, Stuart Davis believed in me very much. He said "Max should exhibit". A collector sponsored a show at 6th Avenue and 10th Street. The owner of a great, popular and fancy restaurant (Romany Marie's)bought one of my paintings. In return gave me 6 months of meals! I ate well then: steaks, veal chops, etc. I never ate such food!
