(*) 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 Zvanseva School and Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall received a fellowship from a patron that allowed him to live in Paris. He settled in La Ruche (the Beehive), 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 broke out in 1917. He was appointed director of the School of Fine Arts of Vitebsk, organized the 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 entrusted him with numerous works. His life was filled with new encounters: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. 1926 was the year of 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 work he would not finish until 1956.

The 1930s for him were a period of numerous travels, of experimentation with antisemitism in Poland, of his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings were taken down from German museums! The family took refuge in Saint-Dié (Saint-Die 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, saddened 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). Initially, he settled in Orgeval, then a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat before finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght became his agent. Chagall began ceramics, produced murals and his first sculptures.

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

In Nice, 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message was inaugurated.

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