More quotes by David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
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
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
Faces are the most interesting things we see other people fascinate me, and the most interesting aspect of other people - the point where we go inside them - is the face. It tells all.
David Hockney
As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.
David Hockney
The cameras are getting smaller, they're getting more versatile, and eventually, I'm sure you'll have a camera with lots and lots of things on it so you can alter the picture. You could alter perspective.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
David Hockney
Any artist will tell you he's really only interested in the stuff he's doing now. He will, always. It's true, and it should be like that.
David Hockney
I think probably something big can be done with cameras, I'm not saying, er, I'm saying chemical photography's finished, that means you can't have a Cartier Bresson again, you need never believe pictures.
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at 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
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
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 feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.
David Hockney
Before he did all those lovely line drawings, Matisse would make really detailed charcoal drawings and tear them up. He wouldn't leave them about... I understand what he was doing: discovering what's there... to make the line meaningful, to find a linear solution.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
