(*) 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 the Zvanseva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop, in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patronage scholarship 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 formed friendships. He first exhibited 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 a few 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 Vitebsk Art School, organized the 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 engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he encountered Vollard who would henceforth commission him 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 becomes his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissions him a work on the Bible, a work he would not finish until 1956.

The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, of exposure to anti-Semitism in Poland, and of his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings were pulled from German museums! The family takes refuge in Saint-Dié-sur-Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrates to the United States in 1941 and in the same year Matisse becomes the new promoter of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, distressed by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA, in 1947, several exhibitions are dedicated to him across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). At first he settles in Orgeval, spends a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall takes to ceramics, creates murals and his first sculptures.

The following 35 years would be those of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the summit of recognition, to the greatest honors that can be bestowed on an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.

In Nice, in 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message is inaugurated.

Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
