Claude Monet Quotes

I’m very happy, very delighted. I’m setting to like a fighting cockerel, for I’m surrounded here by all that I love Picture Quote #1

What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love Picture Quote #1

No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition Picture Quote #1

It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare Picture Quote #1

I waited for the idea to consolidate, for the grouping and composition of themes to settle themselves in my brain Picture Quote #1

I would advise young artists to paint as they can, as long as they can, without being afraid of painting badly Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly Picture Quote #1

I’m not performing miracles, I’m using up and wasting a lot of paint Picture Quote #1

Every day I discover more and more beautiful things. It’s enough to drive one mad. I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it Picture Quote #1

To have gone to all this trouble to get to this is just too stupid! Outside there’s brilliant sunshine but I don’t feel up to looking at it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

What could be said about me... a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers Picture Quote #1

For me, the subject is of secondary importance: I want to convey what is alive between me and the subject Picture Quote #1

Nothing in the whole world is of interest to me but my painting and my flowers Picture Quote #1

Now I really feel the landscape, I can be bold and include every tone of blue and pink: it’s enchanting, it’s delicious Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I didn’t become an impressionist. As long as I can remember I always have been one Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

One day I am satisfied, the next day I find it all bad; still I hope that some day I will find some of them good Picture Quote #1

All I did was to look at what the universe showed me, to let my brush bear witness to it Picture Quote #1

No one but myself knows the anxiety I go through and the trouble I give myself to finish paintings which do not satisfy me and seem to please so very few others Picture Quote #1

Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It’s wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane Picture Quote #1
