(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a nine-member Jewish family, 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 Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron-sponsored 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 became friends. He first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants.
In 1914 the Der Sturm Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo exhibition. At the start of the war he returned to Russia for a few months but stayed there for several years, married, and had his first child. The revolution broke out in 1917. He was named director of the Vitebsk Art School, 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 “My Life”, his autobiography, and produced his first engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard who from then on commissioned 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 a Bible project, a work that would not be completed until 1956.
The 1930s for him were a period of numerous travels, exploration of antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year 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 the same year Matisse became the new dealer of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, distressed by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MoMA in 1947, several exhibitions were held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially he settled in Orgeval, then spent a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settled in Vence, where Aimé Maeght was his agent. Chagall began working in ceramics, creating mural paintings and his first sculptures.
The following 35 years would be a period of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, receiving some of the greatest honors accorded to artists, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In Nice, in 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message opens.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on 28 March 1988.
