I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
Image
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
Image
No theoretician, no writer on art, however interesting he or she might be, could be as interesting as Picasso. A good writer on art may give you an insight to Picasso, but, after all, Picasso was there first.

Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.

Image
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.

The moment you can learn to deal with homosexuality in art, it's quite an exciting moment, just as in a sense when people 'come out' it's quite an exciting moment. It means they become aware of their desires, and can deal with them in a remarkably honest way.

All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
Image
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.

OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
When you're very young, you suddenly find this marvellous freedom. It's quite exciting, and you're prepared to do anything.
David Hockney
Image
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
Image
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney
Image
I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.
David Hockney
Image
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
