More quotes by David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
David Hockney
The way we see things is constantly changing. At the moment the way we see things has been left a lot to the camera. That shouldn't necessarily be.
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 never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
David Hockney
When you're very young, you suddenly find this marvellous freedom. It's quite exciting, and you're prepared to do anything.
David Hockney

David Hockney
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
David Hockney
I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.
David Hockney
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
It's no good saying I wished I could go out more, because I can't. But I don't bother about it too much.
David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
David Hockney
