More quotes by David Hockney
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.
David Hockney
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
I'm sure that the camera is part of European art.
David Hockney
Painting and drawing has been here for 35,000 years.
David Hockney
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney
If you like music you like silence actually.
David Hockney
On the 31st of October 2011 year, I had a mini-stroke. I couldn't finish my sentences. So I went to the doctor. It was a tiny one. The speech came back in a month or so. I did notice I could draw even better, I felt. I was concentrating more. And I wasn't talking much, but I was drawing. I said, Well, I don't have to talk much.
David Hockney
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
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
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
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
With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
I think probably something big can be done with cameras, I'm not saying, er, I'm saying chemical photography's finished, that means you can't have a Cartier Bresson again, you need never believe pictures.
David Hockney
I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.
David Hockney
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.
