Now I really feel the landscap...

Now I really feel the landscape, I can be bold and include every tone of blue and pink: it's enchanting, it's delicious.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

I have made tremendous efforts...

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 171 quotes

The Thames was all gold. God i...

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 171 quotes

I know that to paint the sea r...

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 171 quotes

The only merit I have is to ha...

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

These landscapes of water and ...

These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.

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

It took me time to understand ...

It took me time to understand my water lilies. I had planted them for the pleasure of it; I grew them without ever thinking of painting them.

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

It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

My heart is forever in Giverny...

My heart is forever in Giverny.

No, I'm not a great painter. Neither am I a great poet.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Most people think I paint fast...

Most people think I paint fast. I paint very slowly.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

My only desire is an intimate ...

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 171 quotes

What could be said about me......

What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.

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

The light constantly changes, ...

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

Claude Monet 171 quotes

My garden is a slow work, purs...

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

Pictures aren't made out of do...

Pictures aren't made out of doctrines. Since the appearance of impressionism, the official salons, which used to be brown, have become blue, green, and red...But peppermint or chocolate, they are still confections.

Claude Monet 171 quotes

Gardening was something I lear...

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