(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing secondary studies (1906), he attended Jehuda Pen’s workshop for two months; the following year the Zvanseva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop, in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a working grant 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 exhibited for the first time 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 exploded in 1917. He was appointed director of the School of Fine Arts of Vitebsk, organized teaching, inviting Puvis de Chavannes, El Lissitzky, and Malevich. After a disagreement with the suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. The following year he began to write “My Life,” his autobiography, and created his first engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard who would henceforth commission numerous works. His life was full of 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 not completed until 1956.
The 1930s for him were a period of numerous travels, experimenting with anti-Semitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year his paintings began to be removed from German museums! The family sought 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 broker of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, saddened by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions followed across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). At first he settled in Orgeval, spent a long time in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settled in Vence, where Aimé Maeght was now his agent. Chagall began working in ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be those of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, earning the greatest honors that can be accorded to an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In Nice, in 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message was inaugurated.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
