When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.

I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms every morning.

Cubism was an attack on the p...

Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'

David Hockney 219 quotes

Shadows sometimes people don'...

Shadows sometimes people don't see shadows. The Chinese of course never paint them in pictures, oriental art never deals with shadow. But I noticed these shadows and I knew it meant it was sunny.

I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.

In fact, most artists want to make things a bit more difficult for themselves as they go along, to challenge themselves.

David Hockney 219 quotes

Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.

David Hockney 219 quotes

I was aware that the teaching...

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 don't value prizes of any sort.

I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.

The moment I got a very big studio, everything took off.

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 219 quotes

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

David Hockney 219 quotes

It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.

David Hockney 219 quotes

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.

Spring is very energising to me.

Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.

David Hockney 219 quotes

When you stop doing something...

When you stop doing something, it doesn't mean you are rejecting the previous work. That's the mistake; it's not rejecting it, it's saying, 'I have exploited it enough now and I wish to take a look at another corner.'

David Hockney 219 quotes

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

David Hockney 219 quotes

But slowly I began to use cameras and then think about what it was that was going on. It took me a long time, I mean I actually played with cameras and photography for about 20 years.
