I can see that cinema seems to be finished. Everybody has a bigger screen at home. I'm assuming eventually you won't need a screen at all - these iPhones will just project.

More quotes by David Hockney

Image
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
Image
What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.
David Hockney
Image
If you like music you like silence actually.
David Hockney
Image
The way we see things is constantly changing. At the moment the way we see things has been left a lot to the camera. That shouldn't necessarily be.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
David Hockney
Image
I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.
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
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
Image
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
Image
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
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
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 are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.
David Hockney
Image
I'm fed up with being bossed around.
David Hockney
Image
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney
Image
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
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'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
Image
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
