On the iPhone I tended to draw with my thumb. Whereas the moment I got to the iPad, I found myself using every finger.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney
Image
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney

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

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.

A lot of people, given the chance, would blow up everything, and you and me.
David Hockney

I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
Image
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
David Hockney
Image
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
Image
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
Image
The cameras are getting smaller, they're getting more versatile, and eventually, I'm sure you'll have a camera with lots and lots of things on it so you can alter the picture. You could alter perspective.
David Hockney
Image
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.

Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
