Early years
Henri Charlier was born in the Montmartre quarter of Paris on 19 April 1883. His father, Charles Charlier, was a freemason and strongly anti-Catholic. Henri was not baptized and was raised without any religious instruction. He began to study the piano when he was eight, and music would always be an important part of his life. He attended the Lycée Janson de Sailly for his secondary education. During his childhood and adolescence he would spend his summer vacations with his maternal grandparents Clovis and Nathalie Bidet, winemakers at Cheny, Yonne.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp
Painter
He completed his first oil painting in 1899. In 1901 he studied law for a year in accordance with his father's wishes, but had no interest in the subject. He thought of becoming a historian, but then decided on Fine Arts. In 1902 he entered the studio of Jean-Paul Laurens for a year. He continued to study painting at the Académie Colarossi, and pursued a career as a painter until the age of thirty. He obtained a position teaching drawing in 1904, which he held until 1914. He continued to study, and made the acquaintance of Rodin, Matisse and Bourdel. On 25 August 1906 he contracted a civil marriage with Émilie Boudard.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp
Charlier exhibited at the Salon of Independent Artists in 1911, and later was shown in several other exhibitions. He converted to Christianity in 1913. After this he often visited the Benedictine monastery of Saint-Louis du Temple, where he became the friend of Dom Poitevin et Dom Besse.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp In July 1914 the Charliers went on vacation at a friend's home in Burgundy. On 2 August 1914 they heard of the general mobilization at the start of World War I (1914–18).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp Henri Charlier enlisted as a volunteer and was drafted as a medical assistant. In March 1916 he was appointed to the Hospital of Commercy, Meuse. That year he exhibited a painted bas-relief at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants. The architect Maurice Storez bought the bas-relief and invited Charlier to become a founding member of the society of Christian artists and architects. At this time Charlier became a sculptor.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp
Sculptor
In 1919 Henri et Emilie Charlier moved to the family house in Cheny, and transformed the barn into a studio for sculpture. That year Henri made a barefoot pilgrimage from Paris to Chartres. Between 1921 and 1926 he executed several large stone monuments to the dead. He exhibited a statue of Joan of Art at the Salon d’Automne in 1922, which was well received. In 1924 he exhibited "The Angel of the Apocalypse" at the Salon des Tuileries.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp In 1925 the Charliers moved to Mesnil-Saint-Loup, where he devoted himself to sculpture in stone and wood. He taught several pupils including the painter Bernard Bouts, with whom Charlier founded a stained glass studio at Mesnil.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp In 1929 Sylvia Daoust (1902–1974) came on a scholarship from Montreal to study sculpture with Charlier.Шаблон:Sfn In October 1938 the Canadian Marius Plamondon (1914–1976) came to work with Charlier for a period.Шаблон:Sfn
Charlier wrote a book Culture, École, Métier in which he urged a renewal of education, starting with the teachers.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp He wrote that "it is indispensable that teaching break loose from the sort of academism of letters or of thought which tends to judge everything by means of general ideas. ... Teaching must fill up with intellectual experience and not with ready-made formulas." He said that the closer teachers came to the trade workshop the better they would be.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Rp
Charlier created a fresco to decorate the tomb of Brother André in Saint Joseph's Oratory in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He also made the altar, crucifix and wooden statues of the twelve apostles for the oratory.Шаблон:Sfn
