More quotes by David Hockney
I have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
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
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'
David Hockney
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.
David Hockney
I was 18 when I first visited London, I'm very provincial like that, but I must confess the moment I got to America I thought: This is the place. It was more open, with 24-hour cities and pubs and restaurants that didn't close.
David Hockney
No one has ever asked to see my degree certificate.
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
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
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
I'm sure that the camera is part of European art.
David Hockney
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
David Hockney
The pictures on the walls aren't like movies. They don't move, they don't talk, and they'll last longer. They will last longer.
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
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.
David Hockney
I do believe that painting can change the world.
