It took me a while to understand my water lilies… I grew them without thinking about painting them… A landscape does not pervade your senses in one day… Then suddenly I had a revelation and clearly saw these wonders on my pond. I took up my palette and paintbrush. And since then, I've hardly used any other subject.

"I never had one [a studio] and personally I don't understand why would want to shut themselves up in some room. Maybe for drawing, sure, but not for painting."
"I'm absolutely furious. Everything is going wrong."
"Étretat is becoming more and more amazing...it's superb and I rage at my inability to express it all better. You'd need to use both hands and cover hundreds of canvases."
"I'm having a very bad day. I feel like crying."
"I am very much upset. I am working very hard, but I am not satisfied with anything."
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.
