More quotes by David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney

David Hockney
I've realized that I can do performances.
David Hockney
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
Painting and drawing has been here for 35,000 years.
David Hockney
I have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
David Hockney
We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well. And a memory is now. So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.
David Hockney
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.
David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money - I think that can be a burden - I’m greedy for an exciting life.
David Hockney
I'm fed up with being bossed around.
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
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
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
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
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.
