More quotes by David Hockney

David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.
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've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.
David Hockney
An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.
David Hockney
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
