(*) 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 studied at the Zvanzeva school and at Leon Bakst's workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a work grant from a patron 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 exhibition. In the early war he returned to Russia for several months, but stayed there for several years, married, 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 movement, 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 from then on commission many works to him. His life was filled with new encounters: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. 1926 was the year of his first exhibition in the United States. In 1927 Bernheim-Jeune became his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissioned him a work on the Bible, a project that would not be completed until 1956.
The 1930s were a period of numerous travels, an exploration of antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as a French citizen (1937). The year his paintings began to be removed from German museums! The family took refuge in Saint-Die sur Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrated to the United States in 1941, and the same year Matisse became the new marketer of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, saddened by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MoMA in 1947, several exhibitions followed throughout Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially he settled in Orgeval, then spent a long time in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat before finally establishing himself in Vence, where Aimé Maeght became his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, creating murals and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be the era of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that saw the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, receiving some of the greatest honors accorded to an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In 1973 the Museum of the Biblical Message opened in Nice.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
