David Hockney: Photoshop made newspapers boring

In an interview with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art's web TV, David Hockney (born 1937 in Bradford) recounts being invited by Adobe to California for the launch of Photoshop. He states that while Photoshop is fantastic, it made all newspapers look alike and therefore much more boring. Hockney emphasizes the supremacy of human vision, arguing that Picasso's painted owl contains more 'owlness' than a stuffed specimen because it represents the owl seen through a person's eyes. The interview covers episodes from Hockney's life, focusing on the factor of 'vision'. Hockney is a major living painter whose vast and influential oeuvre also includes drawings, photographs, prints, collages, and stage designs. The interview was published by Artribune on its television channel.
