More quotes by David Hockney
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
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
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
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
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
The vanishing point leads to the missiles of today, which can take us out of this world. It could be that the west's greatest mistakes were the 'invention' of the external vanishing point and the internal combustion engine.
David Hockney
If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.
David Hockney
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
David Hockney
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
David Hockney
Painting and drawing has been here for 35,000 years.
David Hockney
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
