David Hockney
  • 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.

  • People criticized me for my photography. They said it's not art.

  • I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old.

  • 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?

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