David Hockney
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney

David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
