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
The real subject of every painting is light.
Claude Monet
Image
I am pleased with the exhibition... everything on display was sold for a good price to decent people. It has been a long time since I believed that you could educate public taste.
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

Claude Monet
Image
I insist upon 'doing it alone'... I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.
Claude Monet
Image
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.
