Quote

I do have a dream, a tableau of the bathing place of La Grenouillère, for which I've done some bad pochades (sketches), but it is a dream. Renoir, who have just spent a couple of months here, also wants to paint this subject.

When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can't think any more.
Claude Monet
Image
I haven't many years left ahead of me and I must devote all my time to painting, in the hope of achieving something worthwhile in the end, something if possible that will satisfy me.

Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.
Claude Monet
Image
All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it.
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 knocked out, I've never felt so physically and mentally exhausted, I'm quite stupid with it and long only for bed but I am happy.

Image
Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
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
For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject.
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
My rejection at the Salon brought an end to my hesitation [to settle in Paris] since after this failure I can no longer claim to cope... alas, that fatal rejection has virtually taken the bread out of my mouth.
Claude Monet
Image
It's on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.
Claude Monet
Image
Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.
Claude Monet
Image
You might perhaps like to see the few canvases I was able to save from the bailiffs and the rest, since I thought you might be so good as to help me a little, as I am in quite a desperate state, and the worst is that I can no longer even work.
