More quotes by Claude Monet
I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture.
Claude Monet
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
Claude Monet
As for myself, I met with as much success as I ever could have wanted. In other words, I was enthusiastically run-down by every critic of the period.
Claude Monet
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
Claude Monet
I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
Claude Monet
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
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
I let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same and this is what makes me despair.
Claude Monet
I do have a dream, a tableau of the bathing place of La Grenouillère, for which I've done some bad pochades (sketches), but it is a dream. Renoir, who have just spent a couple of months here, also wants to paint this subject.
Claude Monet
My eyes were finally opened and I understood nature. I learned at the same time to love it.
Claude Monet
One is too taken up with all that one sees and hears in Paris, however strong one is, and what I do here [in Etretat] will at least have the merit of being unlike anyone else, at least I believe so, because it will simply be the expression of what I, and only I, have felt.
Claude Monet
One day I am satisfied, the next day I find it all bad still I hope that some day I will find some of them good.
Claude Monet
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
Claude Monet
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
Claude Monet
What I need most of all is color, always, always.
Claude Monet
Paint what you really see, not what you think you ought to see not the object isolated as in a test tube, but the object enveloped in sunlight and atmosphere, with the blue dome of Heaven reflected in the shadows.
Claude Monet
No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others.
Claude Monet
My heart is forever in Giverny.
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
