(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a nine‑child Jewish family, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After finishing secondary studies (1906), he spent two months at Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year at Zvanseva school and at Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a working grant from a patron that allowed him to live in Paris. He settled in La Ruche (the Beehive), worked intensely, met Guillaume Apollinaire, André Salmon, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars with whom he formed friendships. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 the Der Stum Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo show.
In early 1914 he returned to Russia for a few months but stayed there for several years, married, and had his first child. The revolution broke out in 1917. He was appointed director of the Art School in Vitebsk, organized teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. The following year he began writing “My Life,” his autobiography, and produced his first engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard who would henceforth entrust him with numerous works. His life is filled with new encounters: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. 1926 marks his first exhibition in the United States. In 1927 Bernheim-Jeune becomes his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissions a work on the Bible, a project he would not finish until 1956.
The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, the experimentation with antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year his paintings were removed from German museums! The family takes refuge in Saint-Die sur Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrates to the United States in 1941 and the same year Matisse becomes the new promoter of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, distressed by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions are held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). At first he settles in Orgeval, spends a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settles in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall begins working with ceramics, undertakes mural paintings and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years are a time of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the summit of recognition, receiving the greatest honors that can be bestowed on an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In Nice, in 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message opens.
Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
