More quotes by David Hockney
As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
...all along I've had an ambivalent relationship to photography - but as to whether I thought it an art form, or a craft, or a technique, well, I've always been taken with Henry Geldzahler's answer to that question when he said, I thought it was a hobby.
David Hockney
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
David Hockney
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?
David Hockney
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!
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
I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
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
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
With watercolour, you can't cover up the marks. There's the story of the construction of the picture, and then the picture might tell another story as well.
David Hockney
If you are not playful you are not alive.
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
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
