More quotes by David Hockney
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
With watercolour, you can't cover up the marks. There's the story of the construction of the picture, and then the picture might tell another story as well.
David Hockney
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
David Hockney

David Hockney
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.

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.
David Hockney
The way we see things is constantly changing. At the moment the way we see things has been left a lot to the camera. That shouldn't necessarily be.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
I'm fed up with being bossed around.
David Hockney
The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
David Hockney
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
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.
