More quotes by 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
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
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
David Hockney
Water in swimming pools changes its look more than in any other form its colour can be man-made and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but, because of its transparency, the depth of the water as well. If the water surface is almost still and there is a strong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of the spectrum appear everywhere.
David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney

David Hockney

Anything simple always interests me.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
David Hockney

David Hockney
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
I never talk when I'm drawing a person, especially if I'm making line drawings. I prefer there to be no noise at all so I can concentrate more.
David Hockney
People from the village come up and tease me: 'We hear you've started drawing on your telephone.' And I tell them, 'Well, no, actually, it's just that occasionally I speak on my sketch pad,'
David Hockney
No theoretician, no writer on art, however interesting he or she might be, could be as interesting as Picasso. A good writer on art may give you an insight to Picasso, but, after all, Picasso was there first.
David Hockney
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
