More quotes by David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
David Hockney
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
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
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
David Hockney
I stay up nights and fiddle with my opera designs. It's a bit obsessive. That's why I can't do it all the time.
David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
David Hockney
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
David Hockney
On the 31st of October 2011 year, I had a mini-stroke. I couldn't finish my sentences. So I went to the doctor. It was a tiny one. The speech came back in a month or so. I did notice I could draw even better, I felt. I was concentrating more. And I wasn't talking much, but I was drawing. I said, Well, I don't have to talk much.
David Hockney
I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.
David Hockney
The vanishing point leads to the missiles of today, which can take us out of this world. It could be that the west's greatest mistakes were the 'invention' of the external vanishing point and the internal combustion engine.
David Hockney
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
In the end nobody knows how it's done — how art is made. It can't be explained. Optical devices are just tools. Understanding a tool doesn't explain the magic of creation. Nothing can.
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
