Moves to another studio in Montmartre, where he works for two decades. He concentrates on dramatic drawings in charcoal and brilliantly colored pastels of dancers and nudes. He becomes an enthusiastic collector, eventually owning more than 5,000 works of art by Old Masters and his contemporaries.    "Russian Dancers," c.1899 1890 Tours Burgundy and creates color monotypes of landscapes from memory after returning to Paris. Over the next 15 years Degas creates numerous pastels and oils of dancers in the wings.

He also photographs dancers and continues to draw them, both clothed and naked. "Two Nude Dancers," c.1895 "Study of a Nude," c. 1895 1897 In an interview, Degas describes his practice of using wax sculptures to study movement and as "models" for his pictures. "Arabesque Over the Right Leg," 1919-21 1897 Articles on Degas' work increasingly describe him as a modern master, and his art is regularly exhibited abroad. Collectors and dealers compete for his output, and prices for his works rise steadily. "Frieze of Dancers," c.1895 1901 Continues to develop his sculpture, suppressing detail in favor of radically expressive form. Often, the same poses are explored in both two and three dimensions. He enjoys visits from a number of young artists, but travels less, and complains of poor health and declining eyesight. "Study of a Nude Dancer," c. 1895-1900 "Nude Dancer," c.1905-10 1905 The Grafton Galleries in London exhibit 35 pictures by Degas along with work by other Impressionists. 1911 A small one-man exhibit is held at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, MA. Around this time, Degas makes "Two Dancers Resting," one of his last ballet pictures. "Two Dancers Resting," 1910-12 1912 One of his paintings sells at auction at a world record price for a living artist. Now almost blind, his output decreases. 1917 September 27: Degas dies and is buried in the family tomb in Montmartre Cemetery.
