More quotes by Claude Monet
I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.
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
Techniques vary, art stays the same it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.
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
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at any moment.
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 despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.
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
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
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
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
I still have a lot of pleasure doing them, but as time goes by I come to appreciate more clearly which paintings are good and which should be discarded.
Claude Monet
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
Claude Monet
All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was.
Claude Monet
I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.
Claude Monet
It's enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
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
Impressionism is only direct sensation. All great painters were less or more impressionists. It is mainly a question of instinct, and much simpler than [John Singer] Sargent thinks.
