Image
While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose.
Claude Monet
Image
Getting up at 4 in the morning, I slave away all day until by the evening I'm exhausted, and I end by forgetting all my responsibilities, thinking only of the work I've set out to do.
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.
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
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
The Thames was all gold. God it was beautiful, so fine that I began working a frenzy, following the sun and its reflections on the water.
Claude Monet
Image
I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
You'll understand, I'm sure that I'm chasing the merest sliver of color. It's my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It's terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most.
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 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
Image
Now, more than ever, I realize just how illusory my undeserved success has been. I still hold out some hope of doing better, but age and unhappiness have sapped my strength.
Claude Monet
Image
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
Claude Monet
Image
Never, even as a child, would I bend to a rule.
Claude Monet
Image
I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.
Claude Monet
Image
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
Image
I would love to do orange and lemon trees silhouetted against the blue sea, but I cannot find them the way I want them.
Claude Monet
Image
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.
Claude Monet
Image
The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.
Claude Monet
Image
Despite my extremely modest prices, dealers and art lovers are turning their backs on me. It is very depressing to see the lack of interest shown in an art object which has no market value.
