More quotes by David Hockney
I'm sure that the camera is part of European art.
David Hockney
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?
David Hockney
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
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
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
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
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
Before he did all those lovely line drawings, Matisse would make really detailed charcoal drawings and tear them up. He wouldn't leave them about... I understand what he was doing: discovering what's there... to make the line meaningful, to find a linear solution.
David Hockney
No theoretician, no writer on art, however interesting he or she might be, could be as interesting as Picasso. A good writer on art may give you an insight to Picasso, but, after all, Picasso was there first.
David Hockney
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
