More quotes by David Hockney
I have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
David Hockney
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them.
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
Any artist will tell you he's really only interested in the stuff he's doing now. He will, always. It's true, and it should be like that.
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 do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
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
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
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
We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well. And a memory is now. So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.
David Hockney
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
David Hockney
Anything simple always interests me.
