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

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

Direct Effect Impression Nature Paint
When it is dark, it seems to me as if I were dying, and I can’t think any more.
CLAUDE MONET

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

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

I’ve said it before and can only repeat that I owe everything to Boudin and I attribute my success to him. I came to be fascinated by his studies, the products of what I call instantaneity.
CLAUDE MONET

The real subject of every painting is light.
