More quotes by David Hockney
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
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
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
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
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
David Hockney
The moment you can learn to deal with homosexuality in art, it's quite an exciting moment, just as in a sense when people 'come out' it's quite an exciting moment. It means they become aware of their desires, and can deal with them in a remarkably honest way.
David Hockney
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
David Hockney
Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.
David Hockney
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
The picture itself is a document. How do you mean? We're looking at a document. It gives you clues.
David Hockney
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
David Hockney
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
Once you start painting, you could of course get lost. I mean you get out of yourself, you don't know whether you're thinking, you just act actually sometimes.
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
A lot of people, given the chance, would blow up everything, and you and me.
David Hockney
