What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
Image
We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well. And a memory is now. So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.

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.

Image
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.

California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
Image
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
Image
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
Image
The vanishing point leads to the missiles of today, which can take us out of this world. It could be that the west's greatest mistakes were the 'invention' of the external vanishing point and the internal combustion engine.
David Hockney
Image
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
David Hockney
Image
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
Image
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
