Academic Year 2000-2001

Laure de Margerie is a researcher at the Musée d'Orsay. De Margerie continues work on a book covering three aspects of the work of nineteenth-century French sculptor Charles Cordier: Cordier's interest in ethnographic subject matter, his peculiar relationship to a more general late nineteenth-century interest in artistic renderings of otherness, and the sophisticated employment of polychromy in his work.
