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
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'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
Image
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
It's the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one's done.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
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
I'm working hard with more determination than ever. My success at the Salon led to my selling several paintings and since your absence I have made 800 francs I hope, when I have contracts with more dealers, it will be better still.
Claude Monet
Image
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
Claude Monet
Image
All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was.
Claude Monet
Image
One is too taken up with all that one sees and hears in Paris, however strong one is, and what I do here [in Etretat] will at least have the merit of being unlike anyone else, at least I believe so, because it will simply be the expression of what I, and only I, have felt.
Claude Monet
Image
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Claude Monet
Image
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
Claude Monet
Image
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.
