If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
Image
An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.
David Hockney
Image
A lot of people, given the chance, would blow up everything, and you and me.
David Hockney
Image
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.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
Image
Perspective is a law of optics... The Chinese did not have a system like it. Indeed, it is said they rejected the idea of the vanishing point in the eleventh century, because it meant the viewer was not there, indeed, had no movement, therefore was not alive.

The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.

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
Image
I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.
David Hockney
Image
But slowly I began to use cameras and then think about what it was that was going on. It took me a long time, I mean I actually played with cameras and photography for about 20 years.

Image
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
Image
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
Image
It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them.
David Hockney
Image
I think probably something big can be done with cameras, I'm not saying, er, I'm saying chemical photography's finished, that means you can't have a Cartier Bresson again, you need never believe pictures.
David Hockney
Image
I'm fed up with being bossed around.

The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
