(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a nine-member 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 work grant from a patron that allowed him to live in Paris. He settled in La Ruche (the Hive), worked intensely, and befriended Guillaume Apollinaire, André Salmon, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars. He first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 the Der Stum Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo exhibition.
At the beginning of the war he returns to Russia for a few months but stays there for several years, marries, and has his first child. The revolution breaks out in 1917. He is named director of the Vitebsk School of Fine Arts, organizes education, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After 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 makes 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 full of 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 not completed until 1956.
The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experimentation with antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as a French citizen (1937). The year when his paintings were pulled 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 agent for his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, grieving the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MoMA in 1947, several exhibitions are held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). At first he settles in Orgeval, then spends a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat before finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his representative. Chagall begins working in ceramics, creates murals and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years will be a period of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, among the greatest honors that can be bestowed upon an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In Nice, in 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message opens.
Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
