More quotes by David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.
David Hockney
I was 18 when I first visited London, I'm very provincial like that, but I must confess the moment I got to America I thought: This is the place. It was more open, with 24-hour cities and pubs and restaurants that didn't close.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?
David Hockney
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
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
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
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
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.
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
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
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
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
The way we see things is constantly changing. At the moment the way we see things has been left a lot to the camera. That shouldn't necessarily be.
David Hockney
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
