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

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.

In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
Image
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
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

The history of photography needs clearing out. It needs something else now. Because photography always acknowledged there were cameras before photography.

Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.

It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.

I have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
David Hockney

I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.

If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney

People from the village come up and tease me: 'We hear you've started drawing on your telephone.' And I tell them, 'Well, no, actually, it's just that occasionally I speak on my sketch pad,'
David Hockney
Image
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
Image
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney
Image
Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.
David Hockney

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.

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!

I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.

The vanishing point leads to the missiles of today, which can take us out of this world. It could be that the west's greatest mistakes were the 'invention' of the external vanishing point and the internal combustion engine.

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

What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
