I've finally figured out what's wrong with photography. It's a one-eyed man looking through a little 'ole. Now, how much reality can there be in that?
David Hockney

I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
David Hockney
Image
It's no good saying I wished I could go out more, because I can't. But I don't bother about it too much.

Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.

My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.

As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.
