More quotes by 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
The pictures on the walls aren't like movies. They don't move, they don't talk, and they'll last longer. They will last longer.
David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
The picture itself is a document. How do you mean? We're looking at a document. It gives you clues.
David Hockney
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
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
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
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
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
David Hockney
OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?
David Hockney
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
David Hockney
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.
David Hockney
The history of photography needs clearing out. It needs something else now. Because photography always acknowledged there were cameras before photography.
David Hockney
