More quotes by David Hockney
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
I think probably something big can be done with cameras, I'm not saying, er, I'm saying chemical photography's finished, that means you can't have a Cartier Bresson again, you need never believe pictures.
David Hockney
I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.
David Hockney
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.
David Hockney
I'm rather shocked by what I thought was simple mindedness actually. I thought they're not looking, they're not actually looking.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.
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
I've realized that I can do performances.
David Hockney
Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
Faces are the most interesting things we see other people fascinate me, and the most interesting aspect of other people - the point where we go inside them - is the face. It tells all.
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
...all along I've had an ambivalent relationship to photography - but as to whether I thought it an art form, or a craft, or a technique, well, I've always been taken with Henry Geldzahler's answer to that question when he said, I thought it was a hobby.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
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.
