Loved these interviews with Mr Hockney that are all over youtube. Art for me has been one of frustration as I could draw decently right away as a child but the pressure from family started right away to do it so I grew up hating the process and letting my focus on just doing what people expect because of a need to hear praise. More radical things that I would sort of naturally drift into would be immediately halted for fear of critics. So here i am at 64 and starting to realize what art is. So that's why I love hearing the perspective of accomplished artists so much. Thanks for the video.

I ve watched all the 80 celebration shorts on Vimeo, of him painting outside in Yorkshire. I painted a lot today. First time I’ve ever painted so much in one day with free abandon in lockdown. My school said I couldn’t do art as it was not a serious subject. So,I failed the academic subjects anyway. I have dyscalculia and can only see in pictures. I thought everyone was like that. I m 59 and scared to paint as I feel like I ll be poor and end up with nowhere to live. It’s the hardest thing I ve done to change to the arts, as I was forced into work early in life. Now I see I may have a short time to practice. I really love painting but to paint on canvases is expensive and needs space. Hockney is lucky he has space and people helping him. Not so easy for women to get into art. I keep trying and crying. Life is weird, we get no guidance and end up realising we need accept our gifts and to live it !
@neroinc59983 жыл бұрын

The video was shot from his LA house, where he lived since 1968. Hockney has since moved back to the North of England, and then to the South of France more recently. I think he lived in Los Angeles, on and off, for at least thirty years or more? I met him when he taught his one and only set of classes at UCI in 1967. He said if you’re really serious, go to the Royal College of Art in London. It was not that easy, but I did it!

What about the etching DIPLOMA; I am not sure he graduated or at least was threatened with a fail, his response was "I will make my own Diploma". This is something like the story my Dad told, who was at RCA too and had an AP of that print, which was a conversational centre piece in my childhood home. That and the story of his dying Mr Hockney's hair yellow for the first time, which I gather many other fellow students also claim to have been responsible for.

“Blondes have more fun” was what David always said. He always looked like he was having a lot of fun. The key to making great paintings is the joy other people feel when they look at them. That presupposes that the artist was also experiencing joy while painting them!
