(*) 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, he studied at the Zvanseva school and the workshop of Leon Bakst in Saint Petersburg.
In 1910, Chagall received a work scholarship from a patron that allowed him to live in Paris. He settled in La Ruche (the Beehive), worked intensely, and met Guillaume Apollinaire, André Salmon, Max Jacob, and Blaise Cendrars, with whom he formed friendships. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon of the Independents. In 1914, the Der Stum Gallery in Berlin organized his first solo exhibition.
At the beginning of the war, he returns to Russia for a few months but stays there for several years, gets married, and has his first child. The revolution erupts in 1917. He is appointed director of the School of Fine Arts in Vitebsk, where he organizes teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, and Malevich. After a disagreement with the suprematist movement, in 1920, Chagall dismisses himself and settles in Moscow. The following year, he begins writing 'My Life,' his autobiography, and creates his first engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923, he returns to Paris, where he meets Vollard, who from then on commissions numerous works from him. His life is filled with new encounters: Teriade, 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 on a project about the Bible, a work he would not complete until 1956.
The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, of experimenting with antisemitism in Poland, and of his naturalization as a French citizen (1937). The year when his paintings are taken down from the museums of Germany! The family takes refuge in Saint-Die sur Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrates to the United States in 1941, and in the same year, Matisse becomes the new dealer of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, mourning the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA, in 1947, he is featured in several exhibitions across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially, he settles in Orgeval, then lives a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settles in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall begins working with ceramics, creates mural paintings, and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years will be marked by frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass), witnessing the artist's rise to the pinnacle of recognition, of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In 1973, the Biblical Message Museum was inaugurated in Nice.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
