More quotes by Claude Monet
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet
The creditors are proving impossible to deal with and short of a sudden appearance on the scene of wealthy art patrons, we are going to be turned out of this dear little house where I led a simple life and was able to work so well. I do not know what will become of us.
Claude Monet
I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible.
Claude Monet
You'll understand, I'm sure that I'm chasing the merest sliver of color. It's my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It's terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most.
Claude Monet
I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.
Claude Monet
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
Claude Monet
When I look at nature I feel as if I'll be able to paint it all, note it all down, and then you might as well forget it once you're working.
Claude Monet
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
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
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
It's the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one's done.
Claude Monet
I had so much fire in me and so many plans.
Claude Monet
All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was.
Claude Monet
I'm getting so slow at my work it makes me despair, but... I'm increasingly obsessed by the need to render what I experience, and I'm praying that I'll have a few more good years left to me.
Claude Monet
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
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
My only desire is an intimate infusion with nature, and the only fate I wish is to have worked and lived in harmony with her laws.
Claude Monet
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
Claude Monet
