(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing secondary studies (1906), during two months he frequented Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year the Zwanzeva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron’s working scholarship 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 formed friendships. He first exhibited 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 exploded in 1917. He was named director of the Vitebsk Art School, organized teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the Suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. A year later he began writing “My Life,” his autobiography, and produced his first prints in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard who thereafter entrusted him with numerous works. His life is full of new encounters: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. 1926 is the year of his first exhibition in the United States. In 1927 Bernheim-Jeune becomes his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissions him a Bible project, a work not finished until 1956.

The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experiments with antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year his paintings began to be 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 the same year Matisse becomes the new promoter of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, mournful for the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MOMA in 1947, he is the subject of several exhibitions across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). In a first period 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 experimenting with ceramics, creates murals and his first sculptures.

The following 35 years will be the years of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the summit of recognition, one of the greatest honors that can be accorded to an artist, a master of the 20th century.

The National Museum of the Bible Message opens in Nice in 1973.
Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
