(*) 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 Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron-funded working grant 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 befriended. 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 returned to Russia for several months but stayed there for several years, married, and had his first child. The revolution broke out in 1917. He was appointed director of the School of Fine Arts in Vitebsk, organized teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the Suprematist movement, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. The following year he began writing “My Life,” his autobiography, and produced his first etchings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard, who would thereafter commission numerous works from him. 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 became his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissioned him a work on the Bible, a project that would not be completed until 1956.
The 1930s were a period of numerous journeys, an experimentation with anti-Semitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings were taken down from the museums of Germany! The family took refuge in Saint-Die 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, grieving the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions were held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially he settled in Orgeval, spent a long period in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat before finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght became his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, created murals, and his first sculptures.
The following 35 years would be a period of frenzied work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that saw the artist ascend to the peak of recognition, the greatest honors that could be accorded to a 20th-century master.
In Nice, 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message opened.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
