More quotes by David Hockney
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
With watercolour, you can't cover up the marks. There's the story of the construction of the picture, and then the picture might tell another story as well.
David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
David Hockney
Before he did all those lovely line drawings, Matisse would make really detailed charcoal drawings and tear them up. He wouldn't leave them about... I understand what he was doing: discovering what's there... to make the line meaningful, to find a linear solution.
David Hockney
On the 31st of October 2011 year, I had a mini-stroke. I couldn't finish my sentences. So I went to the doctor. It was a tiny one. The speech came back in a month or so. I did notice I could draw even better, I felt. I was concentrating more. And I wasn't talking much, but I was drawing. I said, Well, I don't have to talk much.
David Hockney
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
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
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
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
The vanishing point leads to the missiles of today, which can take us out of this world. It could be that the west's greatest mistakes were the 'invention' of the external vanishing point and the internal combustion engine.
David Hockney
