Hockney did extensive research and shows in his book exactly how they used them...extensively. Logic escapes you. Hockney is a painter far wiser than you.

Don't write me and tell me how to reply crybaby with your pathetic rant about Gays.

[Greg Hoey]

Well I am sorry to defer, but I think his work is vacuous and shrill. And this shows itself up especially in his use of color.

[Greg Hoey]

Of course dip-shit they used lenses just not in the extensive way he claims! Read my comments or otherwise dont reply to me.

[Rexicano]

Hilarious! He's proved beyond any doubt except to a dunce like you that the old painters did use lenses...you must be dense. And as for the Gay attack..well, you are the pompous little man with no importance except in your limited little mind. Hockney on the other hand is well respected all over the world. Maybe you should just stick to Sorts shows. Culture goes way over your head.

Tracey Emin says male artists peak at 40. Giggle.

[Greg Hoey]

As for his assertions about the camera obscura being the mainstay of the old masters-this sort of reasoning only proves he is a minor artist and always will be. ridiculous pompous self-important little gay white man desperate to increase his historical valuation as artist.
