Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney

There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
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
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.

Image
I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
David Hockney
Image
Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don't mind, I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore, is there?

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.

I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
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.
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
I do believe that painting can change the world.

Image
The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.
David Hockney

My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.

Image
The moment you can learn to deal with homosexuality in art, it's quite an exciting moment, just as in a sense when people 'come out' it's quite an exciting moment. It means they become aware of their desires, and can deal with them in a remarkably honest way.

It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.

I'm sure that the camera is part of European art.
