(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing secondary studies (1906), for two months he frequented Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year he attended the Zvanseva school and the workshop of Leon Bakst in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron-backed work grant that allowed him to live in Paris. He settled in La Ruche (the Hive), 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 beginning of the war he returned to Russia for several months but stayed there for several years, got married, and had his first child. The revolution broke out in 1917. He was named director of the School of Fine Arts in Vitebsk, organized teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the Suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. The following year he began writing his autobiography “My Life” and produced his first engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard, who would commission numerous works from him thereafter. His life was full of new encounters: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. The year 1926 saw his first exhibition in the United States. In 1927 Bernheim-Jeune became his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissioned a biblical project from him, a work that he did not finish until 1956.
The 1930s for him were a period of numerous travels, the experimentation of anti-Semitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings were pulled from German museums! The family took refuge in Saint-Dié-sur-Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrated to the United States in 1941, and that same year Matisse became the new promoter of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, distressed by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions followed throughout Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). At first he settled in Orgeval, spent a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settled in Vence, where Aimé Maeght became his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be those of a frantic body of work (paintings, frescoes, decorations, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that saw the artist rise to the peak of recognition, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message opened in Nice.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
