More quotes by David Hockney
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
The pictures on the walls aren't like movies. They don't move, they don't talk, and they'll last longer. They will last longer.
David Hockney
But slowly I began to use cameras and then think about what it was that was going on. It took me a long time, I mean I actually played with cameras and photography for about 20 years.
David Hockney
I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money - I think that can be a burden - I’m greedy for an exciting life.
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
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
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
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
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.
David Hockney
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
I was 18 when I first visited London, I'm very provincial like that, but I must confess the moment I got to America I thought: This is the place. It was more open, with 24-hour cities and pubs and restaurants that didn't close.
David Hockney
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
I never talk when I'm drawing a person, especially if I'm making line drawings. I prefer there to be no noise at all so I can concentrate more.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
The cameras are getting smaller, they're getting more versatile, and eventually, I'm sure you'll have a camera with lots and lots of things on it so you can alter the picture. You could alter perspective.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
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
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
