It’s enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.

Claude Monet

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

Impression Myself Oneself Remember
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
Listening only to my instincts, I discovered superb things.
CLAUDE MONET

Discover Listening Myself
I never draw except with brush and paint.
CLAUDE MONET

Artist Brush Draw Exception Myself Paint
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

Enough Myself Paint Painting Sufficient
When I look at nature I feel as if I’ll be able to paint it all, note it all down, and then you might as well forget it once you’re working.
CLAUDE MONET

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

I say that whoever claims to have finished a canvas is terribly arrogant.

I’m in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
CLAUDE MONET

Desire Fire Myself Paint
Lots of people will protest that it’s quite unreal and that I’m out of my mind, but that’s just too bad.
CLAUDE MONET

Bad Mindset Myself People Reality
My work is always better when I am alone and follow my own impressions.
CLAUDE MONET

Alone Art Better Impression Myself Work
To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.
