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
The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
Claude Monet
Image
I insist upon 'doing it alone'... I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.
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.

Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
Claude Monet
Image
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Image

Claude Monet
Image
I can only draw what I see.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Image
It seems to me that when I see nature I see it ready-made, completely written - but then, try to do it!
Claude Monet
Image
I had so much fire in me and so many plans.
Claude Monet
Image
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
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
It is difficult to stop in time because one gets carried away. But I have that strength it is the only strength I have.
Claude Monet
Image
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
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
Techniques vary, art stays the same it is a transposition of nature at once forceful and sensitive.
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
No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.
Claude Monet
Image
My life has been nothing but a failure.
