[1910 - Tenor Enrico Caruso and conductor Arturo Toscanini perform world premiere of Puccini's The Girl of the Golden West at the Metropolitan Opera]
Conversation with Madame Monet
Now, Claude, the camera has been around for quite some time now. People expect to see that kind of precision and detail in their art.
For heaven's sake, can't you pick something more interesting than haystacks to paint?
Well, I have to hand it to you, Claude. When you decided to paint trees, you picked just about the ugliest ones you could find.
If you have seen one cathedral, you have seen them all.
You are always off carousing with your riffraff artist friends.
I think you may finally be on to something with the water lilies, but there are too many of them and the colors are all wrong.
You are so absorbed in your work. You never think about me or the family.
