More quotes by David Hockney
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
I've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.
David Hockney
I stay up nights and fiddle with my opera designs. It's a bit obsessive. That's why I can't do it all the time.
David Hockney
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'
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
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
When you're very young, you suddenly find this marvellous freedom. It's quite exciting, and you're prepared to do anything.
David Hockney
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.
David Hockney
I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.
David Hockney
With watercolour, you can't cover up the marks. There's the story of the construction of the picture, and then the picture might tell another story as well.
David Hockney
If you go too far with naturalism, there is no need to even organize just look... and paint what you see until the canvas ends.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
