(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing his secondary studies (1906), he attended Jehuda Pen’s studio for two months; the following year he studied at Zvanseva and in Leon Bakst’s studio in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron-funded 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 first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 Der Stum Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo exhibition.
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 named director of the School of Fine Arts of Vitebsk, organized 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, from then on, commissioned numerous works. His life was filled with new encounters: 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 a project on the Bible, a work he would not finish 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 taken down 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 that same year Matisse became the new promoter of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, mournful over the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MoMA in 1947, several exhibitions were held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Berne, Zurich). In a first phase he settled in Orgeval, spent a long time in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght would become his agent. Chagall began experimenting with ceramics, mural paintings, and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be those of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decorations, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that saw the artist rise to the peak of recognition, one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed on an artist, a master 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.
