我坚信艺术应当是非常令人愉快的。我认为彻底绝望的艺术本身就自相矛盾，因为之所以要有艺术就是为了对抗绝望。艺术最底线都意味着你在努力把自己的感受传递给他人，而能够交流本身就带走了一小部分绝望。艺术的这种矛盾是内在固有的，看看艺术史就知道。

Documentary | David Hockney: Swimming pool
▲ David Hockney大卫霍克尼 -《泳池及两人像》英国艺术家大卫·霍克尼常说他活在当下：“这是我现在所做的，我不想太多。我现在还活着，总是现在。”
The British artist David Hockney has often said that he lives in the present: “It’s always just what I’m doing now. I don’t reflect too much. I live now. It’s always now.”

人的任何活动可能都需要游戏感。有人品评我的作品，说它们太游戏化了。我说，这根本算不上批评，这是表扬。我的确视其为表扬，因为我相信没有游戏感就不会有新奇感，即便科学家也具有游戏感。游戏感产生了惊奇、意外和发现，任何富有游戏感的人都明白这个道理。
Any human activity may require a sense of play. Some people commented on my works and said they were too game oriented. I said, this is not criticism at all, this is praise. I do regard it as praise, because I believe that without a sense of play, there can be no novelty, even if scientists have a sense of play. The sense of play produces surprise, surprise and discovery, and anyone with a sense of play knows this.

游戏感可资利用，我就利用游戏感来进行创作。人们常忘了游戏是严肃的，可我知道它当然是严肃的。有些人持有这样一种观点，觉得只有枯燥的才是艺术，要不枯燥就不是艺术。真是的！我一直认为事实正好相反，枯燥的东西多半不是艺术，令人兴奋、令人激动的东西多半才是艺术。我还不知道有什么好艺术是枯燥的，不管是音乐、诗歌还是绘画。莎士比亚之所以令人兴奋不就是因为他不枯燥吗?
The sense of game is available, so I use it to create. People often forget that games are serious, but I know they are. Some people hold the view that only boring is art, otherwise boring is not art. Damn it! I have always thought that the opposite is true. Most boring things are not art, but exciting and exciting things are mostly art. I don't know what good art is boring, whether it's music, poetry or painting. Isn't Shakespeare exciting because he's not boring?

我大多数时间都在工作，因为工作让我兴奋，带给我极大的快乐。我工作还因为除了工作我不知道还能干吗。我想自己要是不工作肯定会疯掉，可能也不会喜欢这个世界了，我也许命中注定就要工作。有时我想坐着发呆也许更好，但做不到，我倒是希望能做到。我有能力享受，可是不幸我有这股冲动这股劲头，要分享我的感觉，艺术家通常做的就是分享感觉。
I work most of the time, because work makes me excited and brings me great happiness. I work because I don't know what else to do besides work. I think if I don't work, I will go crazy. Maybe I won't like the world. Maybe I'm destined to work. Sometimes I think it's better to sit in a daze, but I can't, I hope I can. I have the ability to enjoy it, but unfortunately I have the urge to share my feelings. What artists usually do is share my feelings.IGGER TREES NEARER WATER, WINTER 2008, A YORKSHIRE LANDSCAPE. © DAVID HOCKNEY. PHOTOGRAPH BY RICHARD SCHMIDT.
我们所有人都能在某种程度上理解悲剧，并能在生活中感受到它——失去所爱之物、失去所爱之人，可有些人却看不到生活中喜剧的一面，这在我看来是最大的悲哀。
All of us can understand tragedy to some extent and feel it in our lives - losing what we love, losing the people we love, but some of us can't see the comedy side of life, which is the biggest sorrow to me.
