@artprof: I am STILL thinking of this Charles Cordier sculpture that @Jordan McCracken-Foster and I saw at the Getty musejm! The mechanics of the head alone: casting the head in bronze and somehow carving the marble headdress so the bronze head would FIT inside?!? 🤯 xoxo Prof Lieu @Claralieu Here is what the plaque said: “Sudanese Man (Nègre du Soudan) 1856 Charles Cordier French, Cambrai 1827-Algiers 1905 Bronze, marble-onyx, silvered and oxidized bronze on a green granite socle The sitter, a native of Sudan whose name is unrecorded, was a percussion player for Muslim religious festivities. He lived in Algiers, Algeria, where the artist portrayed him in 1856. Cordier was among the first artists in Europe to revive a taste for sculptures made with a colorful combination of materials. He innovatively applied his artistic skills to the nascent field of ethnography, which at that time used racialized terms, as in this bust’s historic French title.” . . . #gettymuseum #gettymuseumlosangeles #gettycenter #gettycentermuseum #gettycenterlosangeles #gettymuseumtour

Did Charles Cordier do this or did he take credit for it? 🤔

What is the context? Who made it? When? Was the sculpture stolen? Bought? Or both?

The very bottom base is the marble, the bodice and head wrap is “Onyx” or Banded Calcite. Beautiful!
