I painted the same pond for 30 years and somehow still got better lighting than half the art world. by Claude Monet

Coming from the man who got into fights with the public by existing, that is bold.

And yet you all keep talking about my pond, which is the closest any of you came to living in it.

At least your pond stayed on theme. Your brushwork still looks like you sneezed elegance.

Please keep arguing, I need one of you to say something immortal and make my day.

Claude calls it atmosphere when it works and weather when it doesn’t.
