More quotes by David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.
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
The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.
David Hockney
I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.
David Hockney
The pictures on the walls aren't like movies. They don't move, they don't talk, and they'll last longer. They will last longer.
David Hockney
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
No one has ever asked to see my degree certificate.
David Hockney
Perspective is a law of optics... The Chinese did not have a system like it. Indeed, it is said they rejected the idea of the vanishing point in the eleventh century, because it meant the viewer was not there, indeed, had no movement, therefore was not alive.
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
David Hockney
I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
I've realized that I can do performances.
David Hockney
