More quotes by Claude Monet
I let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same and this is what makes me despair.
Claude Monet
Techniques vary, art stays the same it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.
Claude Monet
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
Claude Monet
I am pleased with the exhibition... everything on display was sold for a good price to decent people. It has been a long time since I believed that you could educate public taste.
Claude Monet
My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
The point is to know how to use the colours, the choice of which is, when all's said and done, a matter of habit.
Claude Monet
I've spent so long on some paintings that I no longer know what to think of them, and I am definitely getting harder to please nothing satisfies me.
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
If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.
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
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
I work at my garden all the time and with love. What I need most are flowers, always. My heart is forever in Giverny.
Claude Monet
I have made tremendous efforts to work in a darker register and express the sinister and tragic quality of the place, given my natural tendency to work in light and pale tones.
Claude Monet
Despite my extremely modest prices, dealers and art lovers are turning their backs on me. It is very depressing to see the lack of interest shown in an art object which has no market value.
Claude Monet
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
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
As for myself, I met with as much success as I ever could have wanted. In other words, I was enthusiastically run-down by every critic of the period.
Claude Monet
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
Claude Monet
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
Claude Monet
