"Monet seeks to become intoxicated by the abundant wine of the air, the light, the flowers, and still more light. Through his use of color, he had undeniably conquered every fleeting object that can be conquered. He has taken changing appearances and made them permanent, trying to grasp all of nature's faces at every moment."
-- Arsene Alexandre, writing in Le Figaro, 10 December 1926
