David HockneyBut, I would always be thinking of how pictures are constructed and colour, how to use it, I mean you're using it for constructing, makes you think about it, the place did as well.
David HockneyI have always believed that art should be a deep pleasure...ther e is always, everywhere, an enormous amount of suffering.
