More quotes by Claude Monet

Claude Monet
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Techniques vary, art stays the same it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.

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
My heart is forever in Giverny.
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
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
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
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
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 work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet
