About this Quote

This quote by David Hockney speaks to the power of art and its ability to evoke feeling in the audience. Art is meant to stir something within us, to make us feel something, whether it be happiness, sadness, or something else entirely. Design, on the other hand, is indicated to be practical and practical. It is indicated to serve a function, and while it can be aesthetically pleasing, it does not necessarily evoke feeling. However, Hockney does acknowledge that a good design for a bus can move us, as it can be a work of art in its own right. This quote speaks to the power of art and its ability to move us in ways that design can not. Art is meant to evoke emotion, and it is this feeling that makes it so effective.
