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, 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

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

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.

It seems to me that when I see nature I see it ready-made, completely written - but then, try to do it!

Claude Monet 171 quotes

The real subject of every painting is light.

I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain.

It is better to have done something than to have been someone.

I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint...

My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I didn't become an impressionist. As long as I can remember I always have been one.

Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.

Ninety per cent of the theory of Impressionist painting is in . . . Ruskin's Elements.

I can no longer work outside because of the intensity of the light.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

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

Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
