More quotes by David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.
David Hockney
The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.
David Hockney
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
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
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
David Hockney
In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.
David Hockney
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney
I've finally figured out what's wrong with photography. It's a one-eyed man looking through a little 'ole. Now, how much reality can there be in that?
David Hockney
I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
If you go too far with naturalism, there is no need to even organize just look... and paint what you see until the canvas ends.
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
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
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
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
Television is becoming a collage - there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.
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.
