(*) 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 the Zvanseva school and the workshop of Leon Bakst, in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a working scholarship 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 formed friendships. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 the Der Sturm Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo exhibition.
At the beginning 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 named director of the School of Fine Arts of Vitebsk, organizes teaching, 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 writing “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 thereafter 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 until 1956.
The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experimentation with anti-Semitism in Poland, of his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings are pulled from the museums in Germany! The family takes refuge in Saint-Die 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, distressed by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions are staged across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). In a first period he settles in Orgeval, spends a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until final settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall begins ceramics, produces murals and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years will be those of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, prints, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, the greatest honors that can be accorded to 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.
