Claude Monet
Data de nascimento: 14. Novembro 1840
Data de falecimento: 5. Dezembro 1926
Oscar-Claude Monet foi um pintor francês e o mais célebre entre os pintores impressionistas.O termo impressionismo surgiu devido a um dos primeiros quadros de Monet, "Impressão, nascer do sol", de uma crítica feita ao quadro pelo pintor e escritor Louis Leroy: "Impressão, nascer do Sol” – eu bem o sabia! Pensava eu, justamente, se estou impressionado é porque há lá uma impressão. E que liberdade, que suavidade de pincel! Um papel de parede é mais elaborado que esta cena marinha. A expressão foi usada originalmente de forma pejorativa, mas Monet e seus colegas adotaram o título, tendo consciência da revolução que estavam a iniciar na pintura.

„Impressão - Eu tinha certeza disso. Eu estava apenas dizendo a mim mesmo que, desde que eu estava impressionado, tinha que haver alguma impressão nele… e que liberdade, que facilidade de fabricação! Papel de parede em seu estado embrionário é mais acabado do que aquela paisagem marinha.“
Argan, Giulio Carlo. Arte Moderna. São Paulo: Companhia das Letras, 1993 ISBN 9788502194304.
„A minha cama é um veleiro; nela me sinto seguro; com minha roupa de marinheiro, vou navegando no escuro. De noite embarco e secudo a mão para os amigos no cais; fecho os olhos e pego o timão: não ouço nem vejo mais. Cauto marujo, levo em segredo para a cama uma fatia de bolo e também algum brinquedo, pois é longa a travessia. Corremos de noite o mundo inteiro; mas quando chega a alvorada, eis-me a salvo em meu quarto e o veleiro de proa bem amarrada.“

„I am absolutely sickened with and demoralized by this life, I've been leading for so long. When you get to my age, there is nothing more to look forward to.“
Quote in a letter to , September 1879; as cited in The Private Lives of the Impressionists Sue Roe; Harper Collins Publishers, New York, 2006, pp. 202-203; also partly cited in: Jane Kinsman, Michael Pantazzi, National Gallery of Australia.

1870 - 1890
Contexto: I am absolutely sickened with and demoralized by this life, I've been leading for so long. When you get to my age, there is nothing more to look forward to. Unhappy we are, unhappy we'll stay. Each day brings its tribulations and each day difficulties arise... So I'm giving up the struggle once and for all, abandoning all hope of success... I hear my friends are preparing another exhibition this year [the Impressionists, in Paris, 1880] but I'm ruling out the possibility of participating in it, as I just don't have anything worth showing.
„.. but what a pity that I did not come here [in Venice] when I was younger and more adventurous.“
Quote in Monet's letter to art-ritic and friend Gustave Geffroy, 1907; as cited in: K.E. Sullivan. Monet: Discovering Art, Brockhampton press, London (2004), p. 56
1900 - 1920
„I want to paint the way a bird sings.“
Variante: I would like to paint the way a bird sings.

„I'm very happy, very delighted.... for I am surrounded here by all that I love. I spent my time out of doors.... and naturally I'm working all the time, and I think this year I'm going to do some serious things. And then in the evening, dear fellow, I come home to my little cottage to find a good fire and a dear little family... Dear friend, it's a delight to watch this person [his first son Jean, born in 1867] grow, and I am glad to have him to be sure…“
in a letter to Frédéric Bazille: as cited by K.E. Sullivan. Monet: Discovering Art, Brockhampton press, London (2004), p. 22
1850 - 1870
„I must have flowers, always, and always.“
Variante: I must have flowers, always and always.
„It is decidedly frightfully difficult to make something complete in all respects, and I think that there are scarcely any but those who content themselves with the approximate.“
1850 - 1870
Contexto: My dear Frédéric Bazille, I ask myself what you can be doing in Paris during fine weather, for I suppose that it must also be very fine there. Here my dear fellow, it is is charming, and I discover every day always beautiful things. It is enough to become mad [fou], so much do I have the desire to do it all, my head is cracking. Damn it, here it is the sixteenth, put aside your cliques and your claques, and come spend a couple of weeks here, it would be the best thing that you could do, because in Paris it cannot be very easy to work.
This very day, I still have a month to stay in; furthermore my sketches are becoming finished, I have even set to work additionally [remis] on some others. In sum, I am content enough with my stay here, even though my studies are very far from what I would wish. It is decidedly frightfully difficult to make something complete in all respects, and I think that there are scarcely any but those who content themselves with the approximate. Very well, my dear fellow, I want to struggle, scrape, start over again [recommencer], because one can do what one sees and understands, and it seems to me, when I see nature, that I am going to do it all, write it all out, but them go try to do it.... when one is on the job..
All this proves that one must only think about this. It is by force of observation and reflection that one finds. So let us grind away and grind away constantly. Are you making any progress? Yes, I am sure of it, but what I am sure of is that you do not work enough and not in the right way. It is not with carefree guys like your Villa and others that you will be able to work. It would be better all alone, and yet, all alone there are plenty of things that one cannot make out. In the end all of this is terrible, and it is a rough task.
... It is frightening what I see in my head.
„I didn't become one... As long as I can remember I've always been one.“
Monet answering the question, how he had became an impressionist.
