(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing secondary studies (1906), for two months he frequented Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year the Zvanseva school and the workshop of Leon Bakst, 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 befriended. He first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 the Der Stüm Gallery (Berlin) organized his first personal exhibition.
At the beginning of the war 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 named director of the School of Fine Arts of 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 his autobiography “My Life”, and produced his first engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he found Vollard who from then on commissioned numerous works. His life was filled with new meetings: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. The year 1926 marks his first exhibition in the United States. In 1927 Bernheim-Jeune became his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissioned him to work on a Bible, a work that would not be completed until 1956.
The 1930s for him were a period of numerous travels, experimentation with anti-Semitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year his paintings were removed from German museums! The family took refuge in Saint-Dié-sur-Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrated to the United States in 1941 and the same year Matisse became the new seller of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, mourning the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions were held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially he settled in Orgeval, spent a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, created mural paintings, and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be ones of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message was inaugurated in Nice.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
