More quotes by 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
The history of photography needs clearing out. It needs something else now. Because photography always acknowledged there were cameras before photography.
David Hockney
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
David Hockney
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.
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
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
Television is becoming a collage - there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.
David Hockney
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
David Hockney
I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
Water in swimming pools changes its look more than in any other form its colour can be man-made and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but, because of its transparency, the depth of the water as well. If the water surface is almost still and there is a strong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of the spectrum appear everywhere.
David Hockney
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
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
I've realized that I can do performances.
David Hockney
I'm rather shocked by what I thought was simple mindedness actually. I thought they're not looking, they're not actually looking.
David Hockney
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
David Hockney
The moment you can learn to deal with homosexuality in art, it's quite an exciting moment, just as in a sense when people 'come out' it's quite an exciting moment. It means they become aware of their desires, and can deal with them in a remarkably honest way.
David Hockney
