More quotes by David Hockney
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
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
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
In art, new ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling you can't divorce the two, as, we are now aware, you cannot have time without space and space without time.
David Hockney
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.
David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
The moment you can learn to deal with homosexuality in art, it's quite an exciting moment, just as in a sense when people 'come out' it's quite an exciting moment. It means they become aware of their desires, and can deal with them in a remarkably honest way.
David Hockney
Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don't mind, I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore, is there?
David Hockney
If you like music you like silence actually.
David Hockney
I stay up nights and fiddle with my opera designs. It's a bit obsessive. That's why I can't do it all the time.
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
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
David Hockney
I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.
David Hockney
The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
