david hockney is just one of those guys that puts a smile on your face 😌

[@angelreading5098]

Even after he has painted the picture he continues to immerse himself into it as he sits quietly in the galleries,those paintings hold a big part of his soul and the work that he has put into them,they will live on long after he has left this earthplane just like Van Gogh left us his colourful legacy.

Mr. Hockney's perspective on painting and life is joyful and brilliant. Being an artist I try to do is bring out joy in each painting I do so the individual can experience joy when they see my work. I work in the Neo impressionist style and love Mr. Hockney's style of painting . Live in the now is so true.

[@kurtpedersen7863]

If there was any doubt ever that David Hockney is the world's greatest artist we all believe now!

[@jayjayjay391]

Love this man he is so calming and what a talent

[@brendastolarz9793]

Happiness seems to me a retrospective thing. It's only if you look back you say "yes I was happy then". So many interesting things he's sharing!

He certainly brings me joy. What a delightful fellow!

[@user-bl6im4dm4x]

A living gem

[@sianwarwick633]

His portraits are great. He's talking over the top of his glasses, which the camera person caught

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree..

[@peterelmer9114]

Such a lovely person with an amazing talent - to see the essence of the simply beautiful and to paint it; that’s a real artist.

I left the North of England 50 years ago and like David Hockney (I’m an artist)still maintain most of the accent. ie when he says “glass”Apart from being a great artist he has humility and has remained an ordinary man who loves his work...

[@gayedavies2797]

I say glass, booooook, dance, because I don’t need to be “posh” to impress people ... painters live in the now !

[@joyuk]

I would have loved to have seen that show!

[@jurgstahli679]

What a great, great Video!

[@gayedavies2797]

I love this man, he is an absolute joy to listen to! David Hockney brings fresh and wonderful ideas to me. I am painting trees because of him and my sister both RCA past students ... immense ☀️💐🤩

[@celestialteapot309]

whenever I feel down I listen to Hockney, especially his laugh

[@jessebrewer2045]

A true genius. How I would love to spend a day painting with him.

[@user-bl6im4dm4x]

I have and he is Marvelous

[@rogeralsop3479]

His work is most impressive.

[@stechriswillgil3686]

A fully confident and self actualised man that knows he has real marketable talent and is honoured by prestigious institutions. Why are 90% of Art School graduates unemployed ? Probably because they Art Schools take on anybody these days as some kind of doss / finishing school for idle teenagers that don’t want to enter the real world til they’re 30+ . I’m not even particularly an Art ‘ fan ‘ , but I can see that Hockney is a genius !

[@reneevananrooy321]

A museum by the new Gerhy Disney Building, for Hockney; Universal's Native Painter!

[@petawilliams8099]

Sweet man

[@sianwarwick633]

Is it a cliché to say that technology finally caught up to David Hockney

[@parvineblagh2042]

There are so many questions artists would like to ask you.🤔.............................dj

[@user-ni9fv7gj9y]

Only risks Hockney ever took were the ones that made him a popular mainstream banal success.
