Claude Monet | Figures / Portraits

  • I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint...
  • No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
  • Eventually, my eyes were opened, and I really understood nature. I learned to love at the same time.
  • I have never had a studio, and I do not understand shutting oneself up in a room. To draw, yes; to paint, no.
  • I do have a dream, a painting, the baths of La Grenouillere for which I've done a few bad rough sketches, but it is a dream. Renoir, who has just spent two months here, also wants to do this painting.



  • Io devo forse ai fiori l'essere diventato pittore.
  • Ogni colore che noi vediamo nasce dall'influenza del suo vicino.
