As of September 17, 2019, the complete catalog raisonné of Degas' works is available online: 1900 works including paintings and pastels.
After ten years of careful research, Michel Schulman, a journalist at Radio France and author of writings on Frédéric Bazille and Théodore Rousseau, has produced a new critical catalog of the Impressionist artist Edgar Degas, and as of September 17, 2019, it is available free online. As of March 5, 2018, only the first part was available and now it has been completed.
It is a numerical catalog raisonné that includes paintings and pastels by the famous artist totaling 1900 works (670 paintings and 1230 pastels). Currently 800 of these works are in 170 museums in the United States, France, and Great Britain. It is therefore now possible to consult the bilingual (French-English) degas-catalogue.com site free of charge: the search engine allows access to the very detailed file of each work through eleven combination criteria, such as date of exhibition, theme, technique, medium, signature, etc. Choosing to create an online catalog also offers the possibility of constant updating and editing. Indeed, according to Schulman, vitality and relevance are essential for a well-reasoned catalog.
