More quotes by Claude Monet
What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.
Claude Monet
My heart is forever in Giverny.
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
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
Claude Monet
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!
Claude Monet
I've done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don't want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism that's enough.
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
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at any moment.
Claude Monet
I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
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
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Claude Monet
I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.
Claude Monet
The Thames was all gold. God it was beautiful, so fine that I began working a frenzy, following the sun and its reflections on the water.
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
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
One day Boudin said to me, 'Learn to draw well and appreciate the sea, the light, the blue sky.' I took his advice.
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
My aim is to give you only the things with which I am completely satisfied, even if it means asking you a little more [time] for them... for if I were to do otherwise I'd turn into a mere painting machine and you would be landed with a pile of incomplete work which would put off the most enthusiastic of art collectors.
Claude Monet
