More quotes by David Hockney
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
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
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.
David Hockney
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
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.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
The picture itself is a document. How do you mean? We're looking at a document. It gives you clues.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
David Hockney
In the end nobody knows how it's done — how art is made. It can't be explained. Optical devices are just tools. Understanding a tool doesn't explain the magic of creation. Nothing can.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
No one has ever asked to see my degree certificate.
David Hockney
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
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
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
David Hockney
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
