In 1862, Degas meets [[Edouard Manet]] in the [[Louvre]] while copying [[Diego Velázquez]]'s painting The Infanta Margarita; later at the Café Guerbois located at 11 grade rue des Batignolles (today 9 avenue de Clichy), he gathers with other avant-garde artists such as [[Edouard Manet]], [[Paul Cezanne]], Henri Fantin-Latour, [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir]], [[Claude Monet]], [[Alfred Sisley]], [[Jean-Frédéric Bazille]], and [[Camille Pissarro]]. [http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/degas/html/indexl.html] He and his contemporaries, known as the Impressionists, organized independent exhibitions in which they showed their controversial work.
<blockquote>
Degas amassed a collection of [[art]] so vast and of such substance that he considered establishing his own private museum to house it. [http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/degas/html/index.html]
