What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldnt be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought. – David Hockney
We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way. – David Hockney
I go and see anything thats visually new, any technology thats about picture-making. The technology wont make the pictures different, but someone using it will. – David Hockney
Art has to move you and design does not, unless its a good design for a bus. – David Hockney
Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp. Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup. Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests, I produced the orchards, gardens and groves. It is I who made the glass out of stone, and it is I who turn a poison into an antidote. – Sir Muhammad Iqbal
