David Hockney

David Hockney

David Hockney
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
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
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
