More quotes by David Hockney
On the 31st of October 2011 year, I had a mini-stroke. I couldn't finish my sentences. So I went to the doctor. It was a tiny one. The speech came back in a month or so. I did notice I could draw even better, I felt. I was concentrating more. And I wasn't talking much, but I was drawing. I said, Well, I don't have to talk much.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
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
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.
David Hockney
I've realized that I can do performances.
David Hockney
I can see that cinema seems to be finished. Everybody has a bigger screen at home. I'm assuming eventually you won't need a screen at all - these iPhones will just project.
David Hockney
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
The picture itself is a document. How do you mean? We're looking at a document. It gives you clues.
David Hockney
Water in swimming pools changes its look more than in any other form its colour can be man-made and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but, because of its transparency, the depth of the water as well. If the water surface is almost still and there is a strong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of the spectrum appear everywhere.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, 'The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.' A lot of people don't look very hard.
David Hockney
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
David Hockney
On the iPhone I tended to draw with my thumb. Whereas the moment I got to the iPad, I found myself using every finger.
David Hockney
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
