What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.

More quotes by Claude Monet
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
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 know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even.
Claude Monet
It took me time to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it I grew them without ever thinking of painting them.
Claude Monet
Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
Claude Monet
I'm getting so slow at my work it makes me despair, but... I'm increasingly obsessed by the need to render what I experience, and I'm praying that I'll have a few more good years left to me.
Claude Monet
Paint what you really see, not what you think you ought to see not the object isolated as in a test tube, but the object enveloped in sunlight and atmosphere, with the blue dome of Heaven reflected in the shadows.
Claude Monet
I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible.
Claude Monet
I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
Claude Monet
It is difficult to stop in time because one gets carried away. But I have that strength it is the only strength I have.
Claude Monet
I haven't many years left ahead of me and I must devote all my time to painting, in the hope of achieving something worthwhile in the end, something if possible that will satisfy me.
Claude Monet
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
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
Claude Monet
I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.
Claude Monet
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.
Claude Monet
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
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
