More quotes by Claude Monet

Image
I'm working hard with more determination than ever. My success at the Salon led to my selling several paintings and since your absence I have made 800 francs I hope, when I have contracts with more dealers, it will be better still.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I would like to paint the way a bird sings.
Claude Monet
Image
One's better off alone, and yet there are so many things that are impossible to fathom on one's own. In fact it's a terrible business and the task is a hard one.
Claude Monet
Image
I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.
Claude Monet
Image
I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly.
Claude Monet
Image
When I look at nature I feel as if I'll be able to paint it all, note it all down, and then you might as well forget it once you're working.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I am enslaved to my work, always wanting the impossible, and never, I believe, have I been less favoured by the endlessly changeable weather.
Claude Monet
Image
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I'm very happy, very delighted. I'm setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I'm surrounded here by all that I love.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
Techniques vary, art stays the same it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.
Claude Monet
Image
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.
