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
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
If you like music you like silence actually.
David Hockney
I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.
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'm rather shocked by what I thought was simple mindedness actually. I thought they're not looking, they're not actually looking.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
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
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
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
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney
You must plan to be spontaneous.
David Hockney
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
Anything simple always interests me.
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
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
David Hockney
In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.
David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.
