More quotes by David Hockney
Any artist will tell you he's really only interested in the stuff he's doing now. He will, always. It's true, and it should be like that.
David Hockney
No one has ever asked to see my degree certificate.
David Hockney
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.
David Hockney
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
David Hockney
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
David Hockney
The pictures on the walls aren't like movies. They don't move, they don't talk, and they'll last longer. They will last longer.
David Hockney
I've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.
David Hockney
I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.
David Hockney
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
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
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
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
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
David Hockney
I've realized that I can do performances.
David Hockney
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
