More quotes by David Hockney
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
David Hockney
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
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
I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.
David Hockney
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
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
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
If you like music you like silence actually.
David Hockney
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
Water in swimming pools changes its look more than in any other form its colour can be man-made and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but, because of its transparency, the depth of the water as well. If the water surface is almost still and there is a strong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of the spectrum appear everywhere.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
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
I was 18 when I first visited London, I'm very provincial like that, but I must confess the moment I got to America I thought: This is the place. It was more open, with 24-hour cities and pubs and restaurants that didn't close.
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
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
