You must plan to be spontaneous.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
Image
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
Image
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney
Image
If you go too far with naturalism, there is no need to even organize just look... and paint what you see until the canvas ends.

Image
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.

Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
