More quotes by 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
I had so much fire in me and so many plans.
Claude Monet
One day I am satisfied, the next day I find it all bad still I hope that some day I will find some of them good.
Claude Monet
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
Claude Monet
One day Boudin said to me, 'Learn to draw well and appreciate the sea, the light, the blue sky.' I took his advice.
Claude Monet
I see less and less... I need to avoid lateral light, which darkens my colors. Nevertheless, I always paint at the times of day most propitious for me, as long as my paint tubes and brushes are not mixed up... I will paint almost blind, as Beethoven composed completely deaf.
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
My life has been nothing but a failure.
Claude Monet
I'm continuing to work hard, not without periods of discouragement, but my strength comes back again.
Claude Monet
It was at home I learned the little I know. Schools always appeared to me like a prison, and never could I make up my mind to stay there, not even for four hours a day, when the sunshine was inviting, the sea smooth, and when it was joy to run about the cliffs in the free air, or to paddle in the water.
Claude Monet
I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.
Claude Monet
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
Claude Monet
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
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
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
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
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
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
Claude Monet
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
Claude Monet
