Vincent Van Gogh Quotes

"I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream."- Vincent Van Gogh

Willem de Kooning Quotes

"The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves."- Willem de Kooning

Claude Monet Quotes

"I would like to paint the way a bird sings." - Claude Monet

Claude Monet Quotes

"When I look at nature I feel as if I'll be able to paint it all, note it all down, and then you might as well forget it once you're working." - Claude Monet

Claude Monet Quotes

"The only merit I have is to have painted directly from nature with the aim of conveying my impressions in front of the most fugitive effects." - Claude Monet

Claude Monet Quotes

"I was hard at work beneath the cliff, well sheltered from the wind ... convinced that the tide was drawing out I took no notice of the waves which came and fell a few feet away from me. In short, absorbed as I was, I didn't see a huge wave coming; it threw me against the cliff and I was tossed about in its wake along with all my materials! ... the palette which I had kept a good grip on had been knocked over my face and my beard was covered in blue, yellow etc ... the worst of it was that I lost my painting which was very soon broken up along with my easel, bag etc. Impossible to fish anything out." - Claude Monet

Claude Monet Quotes

"I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers." - Claude Monet

Paul Klee Quotes

"Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion, let the artist be truly taciturn." - Paul Klee
