More quotes by David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
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
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.
David Hockney
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
No one has ever asked to see my degree certificate.
David Hockney
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
David Hockney
I never talk when I'm drawing a person, especially if I'm making line drawings. I prefer there to be no noise at all so I can concentrate more.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
David Hockney
It's no good saying I wished I could go out more, because I can't. But I don't bother about it too much.
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 have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
David Hockney
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
David Hockney
I have always believed that art should be a deep pleasure. I think there is a contradiction in an art of total despair, because the very fact that the art is made seems to contradict despair.
David Hockney
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
David Hockney
