David Hockney
  • 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!'

  • I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.

  • Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.

  • What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.

  • I did come from a pretty independent-minded family.
