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

Quote by -David Hockney
I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms every morning.
Quote by -David Hockney

Quote by -David Hockney
And then I went round the corner and there's a Van Gogh portrait, and you just think, well, this is another level. A higher level, actually. I love the Sargent, but it's not the level of Van Gogh.
