(*) Marc Chagall, the elder 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 Zvanseva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall received a stipend from a patron allowing him to live in Paris. He settled in La Ruche (the Beehive), 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 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; he 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 current, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. A year later 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 would commission 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 became his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissioned him a work on the Bible, a project he would not complete until 1956.

The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experiments with antisemitism in Poland, and 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 that same year Matisse became the new promoter of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, afflicted by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions followed throughout Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially he settled in Orgeval, then spent a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght would become his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures.

The next 35 years would be a period of frenzied work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the peak of recognition, among the greatest honors that can be accorded to a 20th-century master.
In 1973 the Museum of the Biblical Message opened in Nice.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
