Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet

Claude Monet
Image
Impressionism is only direct sensation. All great painters were less or more impressionists. It is mainly a question of instinct, and much simpler than [John Singer] Sargent thinks.
Claude Monet
Image
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
Claude Monet
Image
It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.
Claude Monet
Image
I must have flowers, always, and always.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm continuing to work hard, not without periods of discouragement, but my strength comes back again.
Claude Monet
Image
It's enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
Claude Monet
Image
I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.

I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.
