Monet Quotes:
"No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it and is sure of his method and composition."
"What could be said about me -- a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well."
"What I need most of all is color, always, always."
"Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers." --- Claude Monet

I love the Venezia "Getting to Know" series. Mike Venezia combines charictures with the artists' paintings and a delightful, short biography on the life of the artist. It is a perfect book for the elementary aged young artist.
Venezia also rounds out this series with other "Getting to Know" books including composers, scientists, and presidents. I have personally used his composer book on Bach and my children found it to be as entertaining as his artist series.
