Shadows sometimes people dont 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. – David Hockney

I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old. – David Hockney

Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I dont mind, Im just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isnt really a mainstream anymore, is there? – David Hockney
