More quotes by David Hockney
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
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
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
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
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
On the iPhone I tended to draw with my thumb. Whereas the moment I got to the iPad, I found myself using every finger.
David Hockney
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
Before he did all those lovely line drawings, Matisse would make really detailed charcoal drawings and tear them up. He wouldn't leave them about... I understand what he was doing: discovering what's there... to make the line meaningful, to find a linear solution.
David Hockney
You must plan to be spontaneous.
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
Painting and drawing has been here for 35,000 years.
David Hockney
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney
Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.
David Hockney
I can get excitement watching rain on a puddle. And then I paint it. Now, I admit, there are not too many people who would find that exciting. But I would. And I want life thrilling and rich. And it is. I make sure it is.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
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
Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don't mind, I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore, is there?
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
I have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
David Hockney
