Various pieces by French sculptor Charles-Henri-Joseph Cordier

"Woman from the French Colonies", 1861. Originally titled La Capresse des Colonies (The Goat Tender from the Colonies)

"Jewish Woman of Algiers", 1862.

"Bust after Seïd Enkess", 1848. The sitter is Seïd Enkess, a formerly enslaved Sudanese man from Darfur. Titled as Nègre de Timbouctou (Negro from Timbuktu).

"Bust of a Woman", 1851. Debuted under the title Négresse des colonies (Negress of the Colonies)

While women of colour, fashioned in white marble or coloured materials, were unusual subjects in nineteenth-century sculpture, there are significant examples of works representing them as erotically charged and bound slaves, sexualised Venuses, or a hybrid of both. These reveal conflicting attitudes towards race, sexuality, slavery and abolition. White male sculptors such as John Bell and Charles Cordier intended to bring the pathos of the institution of slavery to public attention, yet they nonetheless traded on the allure of illicit sexuality born of that same system. Many works in this gallery evoke both vixen and victim.

Charles Cordier was zich bewust van de alomvattende schoonheid

Charles Henri Joseph Cordier (1827-1905) was een Franse beeldhouwer van etnografische onderwerpen. Cordier werd geboren in Kamerijk. In 1847 bepaalde een ontmoeting met Seïd Enkess, een voormalige zwarte slaafgemaakte die model was geworden, het verloop van zijn carrière. Zijn eerste succes was een buste in gips van een Soedanese man: Saïd Abdullah van de Mayac, Koninkrijk van Darfur (Soedan).…

Bust of a Nymph by Charles-Henri-Joseph Cordier (1860)

[life-imitates-art-far-more]

Charles Cordier (1827-1905) “Negre du Sudan” (1856-1857) Bronze and onyx with a porphyry pedestal Located in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France This was one of Cordier’s first polychrome works; the face is made of bronze and the mantle and turban of onyx marble from Algeria. Onyx marble characteristically ranges in colour from red to white, with stripes running through the blocks of stone, Cordier used these features to render the colorful effect of patterned fabric. The metal surface of the sculpture was initially silvered, then oxidised, which blackened it. Such use of color was a novelty at the time when people were accustomed to seeing white marble or bronze sculptures. Nothing is known of the model who posed for Cordier except that he played the tam-tam in the festivities of Alger’s Muslim community before Ramadan. In an admiring, respectful manner, Cordier managed to render his natural nobility, which prompted comparisons with Roman emperors.
