(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After finishing secondary studies (1906), for two months he attended Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year he attended the Zvanseva School and Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron-sponsored work grant that allowed him to live in Paris. He settled in La Ruche (the Hive), worked intensely, met Guillaume Apollinaire, André Salmon, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars with whom he befriended. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 the Der Stum Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo show.
At the beginning of the war he returned to Russia for several 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 in Vitebsk, organized the 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 commission numerous works from him henceforth. His life is filled with new encounters: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. The year 1926 marks his first exhibition in the United States. In 1927 Bernheim-Jeune becomes his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissions him a work on the Bible, a project he would not complete until 1956.
The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experimentation with anti-Semitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings were removed from German museums! The family takes refuge in Saint-Dié‑sur‑Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrates to the United States in 1941 and in the same year Matisse becomes the new promoter of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, afflicted by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MoMA in 1947, several exhibitions dedicated to him across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich) followed. At first he settles in Orgeval, spends a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall begins working in ceramics, creates murals and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be marked by frantic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that saw the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, one of the greatest honors that can be accorded to an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In 1973 the Museum of the Biblical Message opened in Nice.
Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
