'Stealing'

You probably noticed a lot of similarities and differences between the works. That’s no coincidence. Hockney is inspired by Van Gogh’s drawings and paintings.


Click on the hotspot below to see what Hockney says about this.



Hockney on Van Gogh
‘Well, sometimes I’ll steal something from Van Gogh, I mean, I do. Good artists don’t borrow, they steal. They don’t quote, they steal.’
Artist Vincent van Gogh
Title The Rock of Montmajour with Pine trees
Date 1888
Collection Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Slide 18 - Tekstslide

‘Soms steel ik weleens iets van Van Gogh, dat is zo. Goede kunstenaars ontlenen niets aan anderen, maar stelen. Ze kopiëren niet, ze stelen. Van Goghs schilderijen zijn vol beweging. Alles lijkt in beweging te zijn. Hij is een geweldig kunstenaar.’
Drawing
Drawing is very important for both Hockney and Van Gogh. It helps you to look more effectively.
Van Gogh drew on paper. These days Hockney often works on his iPad. He uses it to make drawings such as this one.

Click on the hotspot to read what Hockney says about it. 
Drawing on the iPad
'Well, then I heard about the iPad coming out and (...) I got one of the first iPads sent to Bridlington and I started drawing on it and the first thing I did was just to take every kind of brush they had and make marks on it, because it's just about mark making and (...) the colour in the iPad, you get any colour you want really and it was all beautifully simple (...) and straightforward and once I discovered what each did, I could, I got very very good at using it.'
Artist David Hockney

And now it’s your turn…
Hockney used his phone for drawing too. You can also try. Follow the steps below. Good luck!
Step 1: Choose a subject
Choose a subject. Don’t know what to draw? Look around you, or go outside. Nothing grabbing your attention? Then you could look at the work of Van Gogh or Hockney and draw one in your own style.
Step 2: Drawing in Notes or another app

Open the app “Notes” on your phone.
Choose the pencil and paper icon at the bottom right.
Choose a pen and colour and get drawing.

If you don’t have this app, open Whatsapp or Snapchat. Take a photo of the ground or a white sheet of paper and get to work with the pens.

Technique tip
Use bright colours like Van Gogh and Hockney, and lots of dots, strokes, curls and stripes… have a good look at the drawing on the left.
