The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.

Claude Monet

I will bring lots of studies back with me so I can work on some big things at home.
CLAUDE MONET

Education Home Myself Work
Colors pursue me like a constant worry. They even worry me in my sleep.

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

Desire Fate Herself Intimacy Law Live Nature
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
I despise the opinion of the press and the so-called critics.

Perhaps it’s true that I’m very hard on myself, but that’s better than exhibiting mediocre work… too few were satisfactory enough to trouble the public with.

Impressionism is only direct sensation. All great painters were less or more impressionists. It is mainly a question of instinct, and much simpler than [John Singer] Sargent thinks.

If the world really looks like that I will paint no more!

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

I don’t think I’m made for any earthly kind of pleasure.

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