Image
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.
Claude Monet
Image
I do have a dream, a tableau of the bathing place of La Grenouillère, for which I've done some bad pochades (sketches), but it is a dream. Renoir, who have just spent a couple of months here, also wants to paint this subject.
Claude Monet
Image
I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.
Claude Monet
Image
I've done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don't want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism that's enough.
Claude Monet
Image
Impressionism is only direct sensation. All great painters were less or more impressionists. It is mainly a question of instinct, and much simpler than [John Singer] Sargent thinks.
Claude Monet
Image
The point is to know how to use the colours, the choice of which is, when all's said and done, a matter of habit.
Claude Monet
Image
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Claude Monet
Image
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
Claude Monet
Image
The creditors are proving impossible to deal with and short of a sudden appearance on the scene of wealthy art patrons, we are going to be turned out of this dear little house where I led a simple life and was able to work so well. I do not know what will become of us.
Claude Monet
Image
The Thames was all gold. God it was beautiful, so fine that I began working a frenzy, following the sun and its reflections on the water.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm very happy, very delighted. I'm setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I'm surrounded here by all that I love.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Image
It was at home I learned the little I know. Schools always appeared to me like a prison, and never could I make up my mind to stay there, not even for four hours a day, when the sunshine was inviting, the sea smooth, and when it was joy to run about the cliffs in the free air, or to paddle in the water.
Claude Monet
Image
While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose.
Claude Monet
Image
What is it that's taken hold of me, for me to carry on like this in relentless pursuit of something beyond my powers?
Claude Monet
Image
All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was.
Claude Monet
Image
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
Claude Monet
Image
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.
Claude Monet
Image
What can be said about a man who is interested in nothing but his painting? It's a pity if a man can only interest himself in one thing. But I can't do any thing else. I have only one interest.
