(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing his secondary studies (1906), for two months he attended Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year the Zvanseva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop, in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained 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 show. Early in 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 School of Fine Arts of 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 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 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 him a work on the Bible, a project he would not finish until 1956.
The 1930s for him were a period of numerous travels, of experimentation with anti-Semitism in Poland, of his naturalization as French (1937). The year when 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 promoter of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, grieved 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). In a first period he settled in Orgeval, spent a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settled in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall began working in ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures. The next 35 years would be the frenetic period of his work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that saw the artist rise to the summit of recognition, one of the masters of the 20th century. The Musée du Message Biblique opened in Nice in 1973. Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
