Quote

It goes without saying that I will do anything at any price to pull myself out of a situation like this [rejection] so that I can start work immediately on my next Salon picture and ensure that such a thing should not happen again.

Image
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
It's the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one's done.
Claude Monet
Image
I know well enough in advance that you'll find my paintings perfect. I know that if they are exhibited they'll be a great success, but I couldn't be more indifferent to it since I know they are bad, I'm certain of it.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm working hard with more determination than ever. My success at the Salon led to my selling several paintings and since your absence I have made 800 francs I hope, when I have contracts with more dealers, it will be better still.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
Techniques vary, art stays the same it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet
Image
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
Claude Monet
Image
I am enslaved to my work, always wanting the impossible, and never, I believe, have I been less favoured by the endlessly changeable weather.
Claude Monet
Image
I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.
Claude Monet
Image
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
Claude Monet
Image
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
Claude Monet
Image
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
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
Image
What is it that's taken hold of me, for me to carry on like this in relentless pursuit of something beyond my powers?
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
Work is nearly always a torture. If I could find something else I would be much happier, because I could use this other interest as a form of relaxation. Now I cannot relax.
Claude Monet
Image
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
