More quotes by Claude Monet
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
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
I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house and the boat are to be found - the beauty of the air around them, and that is nothing less than the impossible.
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
It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.
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
My life has been nothing but a failure.
Claude Monet
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet
While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose.
Claude Monet
The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
Claude Monet
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
Claude Monet
I'm very happy, very delighted. I'm setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I'm surrounded here by all that I love.
Claude Monet
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
Claude Monet
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
Claude Monet
It's enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
Claude Monet
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing on her temples and automatically analyzing the succession of appropriately graded colors which death was imposing on her motionless face.
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
It's the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one's done.
Claude Monet
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
Claude Monet
