It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.

I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.

I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.

As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.

Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney

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

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.

There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.

What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
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'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.

With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!

In art, new ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling you can't divorce the two, as, we are now aware, you cannot have time without space and space without time.
