The whole life1912
A forced move, and the end of his work
In 1912 the impending demolition of his house on the rue Victor Massé, where he had lived for years, forced Degas to move to the Boulevard de Clichy; he apparently ceased working then, although he is known to have used pastel as late as the end of 1907 and is believed to have made sculptures until 1910. In his last years, nearly blind and unmarried, he wandered restlessly through the streets of Paris.
1915
Cassatt and Degas shown in aid of women's suffrage
Louisine Havemeyer organized a joint exhibition of Cassatt and Degas held in aid of women's suffrage; Cassatt later expressed satisfaction at the irony.
