More quotes by Claude Monet

Image
The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
Claude Monet
Image
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
Image
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
Image
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
Claude Monet
Image
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
Claude Monet
Image
No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others.
Claude Monet
Image
I still have a lot of pleasure doing them, but as time goes by I come to appreciate more clearly which paintings are good and which should be discarded.
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'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
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.
Claude Monet
Image
It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.
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
I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.
Claude Monet
Image
Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It's wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm knocked out, I've never felt so physically and mentally exhausted, I'm quite stupid with it and long only for bed but I am happy.
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
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Image
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.
Claude Monet
Image
I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture.
Claude Monet
