Charles Henri Joseph Cordier (1827–1905) Jewish Dancer Created in 1856 Bronze with a brown patina H. 42.5 cm, on a marble base H. 7.5 cm Throughout his life, Charles Cordier was interested in the study of human diversity. While maintaining the scientific approach of ethnographic study, he sought to show the public, in the wake of the abolition of slavery, “the ubiquity of beauty.” Throughout his travels, Cordier, as a humanist, boldly challenged the conventional wisdom of that conformist turn-of-the-century era to reveal the beautiful uniqueness of peoples around the world. Drawing on the “morphotype” studies he brought back from these journeys, Charles Cordier went on to create a collection of sculptures combining polychrome marble, onyx, enamel, bronze, and silver—works of great innovation and opulence.
