(*) 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 attended 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 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 befriended. He first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 the Der Stüm Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo show.
At the beginning 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 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 to write his autobiography “My Life,” and made his first prints in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard who, from then on, would commission numerous works from him. His life was 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 work on the Bible, a work that would not be completed before 1956.
The 1930s were a period of numerous travels for him, of experimenting with antisemitism in Poland, of his naturalization as French (1937). The year his paintings were removed 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 seller of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, devastated by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions followed across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). In a first phase he settled in Orgeval, spent a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght became his agent. Chagall began working in ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures.
The following 35 years would be filled with frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, prints, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the peak of recognition, receiving the greatest honors that can be afforded to an artist, 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 March 28, 1988.
