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.

More quotes by Claude Monet
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
I let a good many mistakes show through when fixing my sensations. It will always be the same and this is what makes me despair.
Claude Monet
I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even.
Claude Monet
One is too taken up with all that one sees and hears in Paris, however strong one is, and what I do here [in Etretat] will at least have the merit of being unlike anyone else, at least I believe so, because it will simply be the expression of what I, and only I, have felt.
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'm enjoying the most perfect tranquillity, free from all worries, and in consequence would like to stay this way forever, in a peaceful corner of the countryside like this.
Claude Monet
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.
Claude Monet
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
I am very depressed and deeply disgusted with painting. It is really a continual torture.
Claude Monet
I'm continuing to work hard, not without periods of discouragement, but my strength comes back again.
Claude Monet
It's the hardest thing to be alone in being satisfied with what one's done.
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
I insist upon 'doing it alone'... I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.
Claude Monet
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
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.
Claude Monet
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
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at any moment.
Claude Monet
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
Claude Monet
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.
