More quotes by Claude Monet
I had so much fire in me and so many plans.
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
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
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
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
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
One's better off alone, and yet there are so many things that are impossible to fathom on one's own. In fact it's a terrible business and the task is a hard one.
Claude Monet
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
Claude Monet
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
Claude Monet
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
I sometimes feel ashamed that I am devoting myself to artistic pursuits while so many of our people are suffering and dying for us. It's true that fretting never did any good.
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
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
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
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 have once more taken up things that can't be done: water with grasses weaving on the bottom. But I'm always tackling that sort of thing!
Claude Monet
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
Claude Monet
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
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
