More quotes by Claude Monet
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
When I work I forget all the rest.
Claude Monet
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
What I need most of all is color, always, always.
Claude Monet
While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose.
Claude Monet
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
You'll understand, I'm sure that I'm chasing the merest sliver of color. It's my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It's terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most.
Claude Monet
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Claude Monet
When I look at nature I feel as if I'll be able to paint it all, note it all down, and then you might as well forget it once you're working.
Claude Monet
You might perhaps like to see the few canvases I was able to save from the bailiffs and the rest, since I thought you might be so good as to help me a little, as I am in quite a desperate state, and the worst is that I can no longer even work.
Claude Monet
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
If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
Claude Monet
I must have flowers, always, and always.
Claude Monet
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
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
It goes without saying that I will do anything at any price to pull myself out of a situation like this [rejection] so that I can start work immediately on my next Salon picture and ensure that such a thing should not happen again.
Claude Monet
One day Boudin said to me, 'Learn to draw well and appreciate the sea, the light, the blue sky.' I took his advice.
Claude Monet
The real subject of every painting is light.
Claude Monet
I've spent so long on some paintings that I no longer know what to think of them, and I am definitely getting harder to please nothing satisfies me.
Claude Monet
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet
