David Hockney
I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, 'The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.' A lot of people don't look very hard.
David Hockney

David Hockney
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney

David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
I'm rather shocked by what I thought was simple mindedness actually. I thought they're not looking, they're not actually looking.
David Hockney
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
The picture itself is a document. How do you mean? We're looking at a document. It gives you clues.
David Hockney
Television is becoming a collage - there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.
David Hockney
In art, new ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling you can't divorce the two, as, we are now aware, you cannot have time without space and space without time.
David Hockney
I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
