I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, 'The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.' A lot of people don't look very hard.

David Hockney
Image
Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.
David Hockney
Image
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
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
A lot of people, given the chance, would blow up everything, and you and me.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
