Ah, gentlemen, I do not receive guests when I'm working, indeed. When I work, if I am interrupted, I lose all inspiration; I am lost. You understand, I'm chasing a band of colour.

"No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition."
"I'm having a very bad time just now; everything is going wrong, and I'm very much afraid I shall have to give it all up."

"I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat… I want to paint the air that surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat – the beauty of the air in which these objects are locate…"
"For a month I have been unable to paint because I lack the colours. That's not important. Right now it's my wife's life in jeopardy that terrifies me. It is unbearable to see her suffer."
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.
