More quotes by David Hockney
Television is becoming a collage - there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.
David Hockney
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
David Hockney
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
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
I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.
David Hockney
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
I'm fed up with being bossed around.
David Hockney
With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!
David Hockney
An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.
David Hockney
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.
David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
David Hockney
I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
