I am working very hard, struggling with a series of different effects, but at this time of year the sun sets so fast that I cannot keep up with it.

More from Claude Monet
"These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession for me. It is beyond my strength as an old man, and yet I want to render what I feel."
"I'm absolutely miserable. I hate everything."
"I am in despair. I am working like a madman, but I am not making any progress."
"I'm so fed up with these water lilies. I can't stand them anymore."
"Dear God, this cursed Cathedral is hard to do… Fourteen paintings on the go today… I'm exhausted and it seems that every day the light changes: it gets whiter and higher up."
About Claude Monet (1840-1926)
French Impressionist painter whose Impression, Sunrise (1872) named the movement, and whose late Water Lilies series anticipated 20th-century abstraction. Closely associated with Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Impressionist co-founder) and Camille Pissarro (Impressionist mentor figure). For an intellectual contrast, see the Académie des Beaux-Arts and the Salon, the French art establishment of the 1860s-70s — The Académie rejected Monet and the Impressionists throughout the 1860s-70s, forcing them to organize the 1874 Salon des Refusés that became Impressionism's launch. Monet's career is the canonical example of an artistic revolution that bypassed institutional gatekeeping — the Académie's rejection inadvertently created modernism.
