More quotes by Claude Monet
It took me time to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it I grew them without ever thinking of painting them.
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
I'm continuing to work hard, not without periods of discouragement, but my strength comes back again.
Claude Monet
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
I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.
Claude Monet
All of a sudden I had the revelation of how enchanting my pond was.
Claude Monet
I'm quite content: although what I'm doing is far from being as I should like, I am complemented often enough all the same.
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
I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint.
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
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.
Claude Monet
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Claude Monet
I get madder and madder on giving back what I feel.
Claude Monet
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.
Claude Monet
Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
My life has been nothing but a failure.
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 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
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
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
