More quotes by 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
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
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
I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
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.
David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
David Hockney
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
David Hockney
In the end nobody knows how it's done — how art is made. It can't be explained. Optical devices are just tools. Understanding a tool doesn't explain the magic of creation. Nothing can.
David Hockney
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
You must plan to be spontaneous.
David Hockney
Anything simple always interests me.
David Hockney
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
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 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
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
