Despite my extremely modest prices, dealers and art lovers are turning their backs on me. It is very depressing to see the lack of interest shown in an art object which has no market value.

More quotes by Claude Monet
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
Techniques vary, art stays the same it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.
Claude Monet
It took me time to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it I grew them without ever thinking of painting them.
Claude Monet
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
Claude Monet
Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
Claude Monet
My life has been nothing but a failure.
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
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
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'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
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
Claude Monet
The real subject of every painting is light.
Claude Monet
I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible.
Claude Monet
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
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 am enslaved to my work, always wanting the impossible, and never, I believe, have I been less favoured by the endlessly changeable weather.
Claude Monet
I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house and the boat are to be found - the beauty of the air around them, and that is nothing less than the impossible.
Claude Monet
The creditors are proving impossible to deal with and short of a sudden appearance on the scene of wealthy art patrons, we are going to be turned out of this dear little house where I led a simple life and was able to work so well. I do not know what will become of us.
Claude Monet
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
Claude Monet
