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. 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. In 1929 Sylvia Daoust (1902–1974) came on a scholarship from Montreal to study sculpture with Charlier. In October 1938 the Canadian Marius Plamondon (1914–1976) came to work with Charlier for a period. Charlier wrote a book Culture, École, Métier in which he urged a renewal of education, starting with the teachers. 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. 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. Henri Charlier died in Mesnil-Saint-Loup on 24 December 1975.
