"London isn't a place where one can complete a work : you cant find twice the same effect"

Claude Monet

"Je ne peux pas vous envoyer une seule toile des Londres, parce que pour le travail que je fais il m'est indispensable de les avoir toutes sous les yeux, (...) car ce que je fais là est du plus délicat."

Claude Monet
