David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
David Hockney
I've realized that I can do performances.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
David Hockney
Faces are the most interesting things we see other people fascinate me, and the most interesting aspect of other people - the point where we go inside them - is the face. It tells all.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.
