David Hockney / When is the present ?

"When is the present ? When do the past end and the present occur? When does the future take place? Ordinary photography has a way of seeing only what is fixed, as if there is only one kind of objective reality, but this simply cannot be. Picasso knew that each time we look something is different. There is so much there but we're not seeing it. That's the problem".

Mother I, Yorkshire Morrs, David Hockney, August 1985
