My Garden Is My Most Beautiful Masterpiece

The Real Subject Of Every Painting Is Light.

All Of A Sudden I Had The Revelation Of How Enchanting My Pond Was.

Ninety Per Cent Of The Theory Of Impressionist Painting Is In . . . Ruskin's Elements.

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.

I Sometimes Feel Ashamed That I Am Devoting Myself To Artistic Pursuits While So Many Of Our People Are Suffering And Dying For Us. It's True That Fretting Never Did Any Good.
