More quotes by Claude Monet
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
I have made tremendous efforts to work in a darker register and express the sinister and tragic quality of the place, given my natural tendency to work in light and pale tones.
Claude Monet
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
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 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
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
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.
Claude Monet
I've been working so hard that I'm exhausted... I feel I won't be able to do without a few weeks' rest, so I'm going off to see the sea.
Claude Monet
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Claude Monet
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at any moment.
Claude Monet
It's the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one's done.
Claude Monet
I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.
Claude Monet
If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
Claude Monet
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
Claude Monet
I insist upon 'doing it alone'... I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.
Claude Monet
I must have flowers, always, and always.
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
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
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
Claude Monet
