I am enslaved to my work, always wanting the impossible, and never, I believe, have I been less favoured by the endlessly changeable weather.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I still don't know where I am...

I still don't know where I am going to sleep tomorrow.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

The only merit I have is to h...

The only merit I have is to have painted directly from nature with the aim of conveying my impressions in front of the most fugitive effects.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I do what I can to convey wha...

I do what I can to convey what I experience before nature and most often, in order to succeed in conveying what I feel, I totally forget the most elementary rules of painting, if they exist that is.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I've done what I could as a p...

I've done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don't want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism; that's enough.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I want to paint the air in wh...

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.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I'm getting so slow at my wor...

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 171 quotes

I will bring lots of studies ...

I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I let a good many mistakes sh...

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 171 quotes

Gardening was something I lea...

Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I haven't many years left ahe...

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.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

If only the weather would imp...

If only the weather would improve, there'd be hope of some work, but every day brings rain.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I insist upon 'doing it alone...

I insist upon 'doing it alone'... I have always worked better alone and from my own impressions.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

One is too taken up with all ...

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 171 quotes

Thanks to my work everything'...

Thanks to my work everything's going well; it's a great consolation.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

While adding the finishing to...

While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

My garden is a slow work, pur...

My garden is a slow work, pursued with love and I do not deny that I am proud of it. Forty years ago, when I established myself here, there was nothing but a farmhouse and a poor orchard...I bought the house and little by little I enlarged and organized it...I dug, planted weeded, myself; in the evenings the children watered.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Colors pursue me like a const...

Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

The effect of sincerity is to...

The effect of sincerity is to give one's work the character of a protest. The painter, being concerned only with conveying his impression, simply seeks to be himself and no one else.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Color is my day-long obsessio...

Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing on her temples and automatically analyzing the succession of appropriately graded colors which death was imposing on her motionless face.
