More quotes by Claude Monet
What I need most of all is color, always, always.
Claude Monet
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
Claude Monet
Work is nearly always a torture. If I could find something else I would be much happier, because I could use this other interest as a form of relaxation. Now I cannot relax.
Claude Monet
The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
Claude Monet
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.
Claude Monet
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Claude Monet
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
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
Claude Monet
If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
Claude Monet
It seems to me that when I see nature I see it ready-made, completely written - but then, try to do it!
Claude Monet
I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.
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
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet
My aim is to give you only the things with which I am completely satisfied, even if it means asking you a little more [time] for them... for if I were to do otherwise I'd turn into a mere painting machine and you would be landed with a pile of incomplete work which would put off the most enthusiastic of art collectors.
Claude Monet
I let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same and this is what makes me despair.
Claude Monet
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
Claude Monet
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
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 must have flowers, always, and always.
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
