More quotes by 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
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
If you like music you like silence actually.
David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well. And a memory is now. So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.
David Hockney
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
The picture itself is a document. How do you mean? We're looking at a document. It gives you clues.
David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
David Hockney
I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
David Hockney
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
Any artist will tell you he's really only interested in the stuff he's doing now. He will, always. It's true, and it should be like that.
David Hockney
You must plan to be spontaneous.
David Hockney
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
