More quotes by Claude Monet
When I work I forget all the rest.
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
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
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
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
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
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'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
What can be said about a man who is interested in nothing but his painting? It's a pity if a man can only interest himself in one thing. But I can't do any thing else. I have only one interest.
Claude Monet
Now, more than ever, I realize just how illusory my undeserved success has been. I still hold out some hope of doing better, but age and unhappiness have sapped my strength.
Claude Monet
Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.
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
What I need most of all is color, always, always.
Claude Monet
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.
Claude Monet
I would love to do orange and lemon trees silhouetted against the blue sea, but I cannot find them the way I want them.
Claude Monet
I insist upon 'doing it alone'... I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.
Claude Monet
It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.
Claude Monet
Perhaps it's true that I'm very hard on myself, but that's better than exhibiting mediocre work... too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with.
Claude Monet
