More quotes by David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.
David Hockney
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
David Hockney

I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's 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
I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, 'The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.' A lot of people don't look very hard.
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
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
I'm sure that the camera is part of European art.
David Hockney
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
David Hockney
I've finally figured out what's wrong with photography. It's a one-eyed man looking through a little 'ole. Now, how much reality can there be in that?
David Hockney
Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.
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
