Full-length captioned video here: • David Hockney, 1982

Thank you. Hockney as always is a very interesting open artist to listen to, he can articulate his experiences very well. A pleasure.

[@marktemlett2330]

Beautiful experience.

This interview was in 1982! Why judge him in 2016! He is a great artist and draughtsman, whether you are jealous or not! No great artist without great drawing capacity!

A living Legend...

[@IntravenousWolf]

To take on landscape painting, at this stage in his life, when it was, and is seen as so old fashioned. To do what he has done with it, how he place's you in the picture through scale, exploring how to reproduce the feeling of being out in a landscape. He's fired up peoples imagination's, and I'm not sure there's many artists alive currently who could have done what he has done. They never would've attempted it, it would have been suicide for 90% them. They don't have the talent or intelligence.

I always love listening to David Hockney -I would like to refer to him as David but I feel that would be taking too much of a liberty -When he went back home from LA to his home town in England and painted on location everyday for a year that resonated with me very deeply - I too am a visual Artist and have threatened to do the same but so far I have not, DAMN IT -

[@robertyoung1777]

Great interview - Barbaralee Diamonstein is perfect for talking with Hockney. Check out her interview with Gary Winogrand. It’s also great.

[@hthomasackermann]

Some of his drawings are totally authentic - the rest are perfect decorations (ref. Kandinsky)

[@eg-g]

Any piece of art can be a decoration, any! you fucking ass hole.

I would not demean the interviewer too much. These series of interviews are great learning material for any artist. but if you must bitch about something, then proceed.

[@bonjourjoshua]

I disagree, she clearly knew Hockney's work really well, which I find is pretty rare in interviews of artists in general.

[@vonclap]

I think the interviewer deserves credit as well as DH

[@agomodern]

I see many comments complaining about her. People back then had an elegance and sophistication about them (which is wholly lacking these days), and the interviewer is one of them. She did a great job.

[@QueenBee-mk8xm]

Like that he was wearing trainers... well ahead of his time in so many ways.

[@scotty]

I wonder what this would have been like if they would have let David speak about what he wanted instead of just answering questions. This isn't bad but I wonder what he would have said if he were free to tell us everything if it were left up to him.

[@agomodern]

It's called an interview, otherwise it would be called a lecture.

[@QueenBee-mk8xm]

Amazing how people smoked during interviews in that time...

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

Nothing ever "old-fashioned" about landscapes, portraits, or still life.

[@lucianopavarotti2843]

Interviewer has a habit of interrupting him just as he is about to deal with what she wants him to talk about

[@Poemsapennyeach]

Good old Hockers...

[@soulpriest1866]

Dude looks like Bubbles fro Trailer Park Boys....

[@hadoboirudo]

Is that hillary clinton

[@ryanh206]

I would have been totally annoyed by her 'out-of-the-can' interview questions and the way she delivers them. (Not that it matters - my point is the interviewer is FIRED)

[@rivestalex]

The woman interviewing sounds like a caricature.

[@paddy9i99]

C'ant fucking hear it. Next.

[@xyzllii]

Patronising......little girls painting flowers...hmmm. Hockney could never be accused of not being full of himself. I can't think of another painter who would sit there...indulging his own thoughts etc...with such self absorption.

[@ianroley407]

What is a "Siddy"? Sidding? and "Aaah-dist" He keeps saying it.....or am I just being a complete DWAD? :-)

[@kofferfischii]

Sickness of London.

[@zthetha]

I come from the same town as Hockney in outspoken Yorkshire where people tend to call a spade a bloody shovel. His comment about all art students painting London in the same style as Sickert who derived from Degas who derived from Lautrec is - not to put too fine a point on it - case hardened bullshit. Moreover, you would need a bloody big shovel to shift the heap of crap he spews here. I was a friend of the late Dave Fell, known universally as 'The Yorkshire Artist' (letters addressed so always found him) who was in his last year at art school when Hockney started and who spoke of him affectionately as 'that simpering little brown noser'.

[@lawrencefinch-hatton6231]

willie otoole impossible to get anywhere in life without getting your nose dirty.

[@xyzllii]

Hockney looks better with his original front teeth. But how patronising. 'Little girls painting flowers'.....ie whilst the MEN did the real painting.

[@trinitaterion]

The man just cant paint crap and his images are boring,there are 1000 better painters to remember.

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

A mediocre hack. Being somewhat well-known in the art world does not alter that actuality.

[@eg-g]

When you are interviewing David Hockney and suddenly you see the devil himself in the audience. 46:26 lol....

[@ezgi6392]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!
