(*) 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 frequented Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year the Zvanseva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop, in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron-funded work scholarship 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 a friendship. 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 beginning of the war he returns to Russia for several months but stays there for several years, marries, has his first child. The revolution breaks out in 1917. He is appointed 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. A year later 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 finds 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 that would not be finished until 1956.
The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experiments with antisemitism in Poland, of his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings disappear from Germany’s museums! The family seeks refuge in Saint-Dié-sur-Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. They emigrate to the United States in 1941 and that same year Matisse becomes the new dealer of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, distressed by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MoMA, in 1947, several exhibitions are devoted to him across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially 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 working in ceramics, creates mural paintings and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years will be those of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the summit of recognition, receiving the greatest honors that can be bestowed on an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In Nice, in 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message is inaugurated.
Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
