More quotes by Claude Monet
I sometimes feel ashamed that I am devoting myself to artistic pursuits while so many of our people are suffering and dying for us. It's true that fretting never did any good.
Claude Monet
My rejection at the Salon brought an end to my hesitation [to settle in Paris] since after this failure I can no longer claim to cope... alas, that fatal rejection has virtually taken the bread out of my mouth.
Claude Monet
I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.
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
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'm enjoying the most perfect tranquillity, free from all worries, and in consequence would like to stay this way forever, in a peaceful corner of the countryside like this.
Claude Monet
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
Claude Monet
I would love to do orange and lemon trees silhouetted against the blue sea, but I cannot find them the way I want them.
Claude Monet
It's enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
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
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
Claude Monet
I have once more taken up things that can't be done: water with grasses weaving on the bottom. But I'm always tackling that sort of thing!
Claude Monet
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
Claude Monet
Getting up at 4 in the morning, I slave away all day until by the evening I'm exhausted, and I end by forgetting all my responsibilities, thinking only of the work I've set out to do.
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
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
While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose.
Claude Monet
When I work I forget all the rest.
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 know well enough in advance that you'll find my paintings perfect. I know that if they are exhibited they'll be a great success, but I couldn't be more indifferent to it since I know they are bad, I'm certain of it.
Claude Monet
