Indepth Arts News: "Facing the Other: Charles Cordier, Ethnographic Sculptor" 2004-10-12 until 2005-01-09 Dahesh Museum of Art New York, NY, USA United States of America
Although greatly
admired by many artists during his lifetime, including Auguste Rodin (1840 -1917), throughout his
career Cordier was forced to defend not only his subjects, but also his materials. Setting aside the
standard white marble, Cordier traveled to Algeria, Greece, and Egypt to explore their quarries
for black onyx and rare translucent marble veined with blue, peach, and red hues. The confidence
of his artistry is captured in every detail, revealing the vibrant humanity of each subject.
The Dahesh Museum of Art is the only institution in the United States devoted collecting, exhibiting,
and interpreting works by Europe’s academically trained artists of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
