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 171 quotes

The light constantly changes,...

The light constantly changes, and that alters the atmosphere and beauty of things every minute.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Paint what you really see, no...

Paint what you really see, not what you think you ought to see; not the object isolated as in a test tube, but the object enveloped in sunlight and atmosphere, with the blue dome of Heaven reflected in the shadows.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

When you go out to paint, try...

When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, house, a field....Merely think, here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow, and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives your own naive impression of the scene before you.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I see less and less... I need...

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 171 quotes

I would like to paint the way...

I would like to paint the way a bird sings.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I work at my garden all the time and with love. What I need most are flowers, always. My heart is forever in Giverny.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Everyone discusses my art and...

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

For a long time, I have hoped...

For a long time, I have hoped for better days, but alas, today it is necessary for me to lose all hope. My poor wife suffers more and more. I do not think it is possible to be any weaker.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I do have a dream, a painting...

I do have a dream, a painting, the baths of La Grenouillere for which I've done a few bad rough sketches, but it is a dream. Renoir, who has just spent two months here, also wants to do this painting.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I am following Nature without...

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

No one is an artist unless he...

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 171 quotes

I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I pass my time in the open air on the beach when it is really heavy weather or when the boats go out fishing.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it's simply necessary to love.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Among the seascapes, I am doing the regattas of Le Havre with many figures on the beach and the outer harbor covered with small sails.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I wear myself out and struggle with the sun. And what a sun here! It would be necessary to paint here with gold and gemstones. It is wonderful.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I am working, but when one has ceased to do seascape, it is the devil afterward - very difficult; it changes at every instant, and here the weather varies several times in the same day.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I will do water - beautiful, blue water.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, 'Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,' and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you.
