(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a nine‑child Jewish family, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After finishing secondary studies (1906), for two months he attended Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year 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 Beehive), worked intensely, and 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 start of the war he returns to Russia for several months but stays there for several years, marries, and has his first child. The revolution breaks out in 1917. He is appointed director of the Vitebsk Art School, organizes teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. Following a disagreement with the Suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall resigns and settles in Moscow. The following year he begins drafting “My Life,” his autobiography, and produces his first engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returns to Paris where he meets Vollard who from then on commissions numerous works. 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 a Bible project, a work he would not complete before 1956.

The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experiments with antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings were removed from German museums! The family takes refuge in Saint-Die-sur-Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. They emigrate to the United States in 1941 and the same year Matisse becomes the new broker of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, distressed by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions are dedicated to him across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). In a first phase 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, creates mural paintings and his first sculptures.

The next 35 years are the frantic period of work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, prints, mosaics, stained glass) that sees the artist rise to the peak of recognition, among the greatest honors that can be accorded to an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.

In Nice, in 1973, the Musée du Message Biblique opens.
Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
