The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.

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
Image
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
Image
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
When you're very young, you suddenly find this marvellous freedom. It's quite exciting, and you're prepared to do anything.
David Hockney
Image
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
Image
Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.
David Hockney
Image
I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
Image
It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.

There would be no bohemia without smoking.

Image
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
Image
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
Image
I've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.

Water colours are wet colours in water.

Image
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.

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.

With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!

It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.

Image
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
Image
I never talk when I'm drawing a person, especially if I'm making line drawings. I prefer there to be no noise at all so I can concentrate more.
