(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing secondary studies (1906), he frequented Jehuda Pen’s workshop for two months; the following year, the Zvanseva school and the workshop of Leon Bakst, in Saint Petersburg.
In 1910 Chagall obtained a work 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 of the Independents. In 1914 the Der Stumm Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo exhibition.
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 1917 revolution broke out. He was appointed director of the School of Fine Arts in Vitebsk, organized teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall dismissed and settled in Moscow. A year later he began drafting “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 commissioned 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 project on the Bible, a work he will not finish before 1956.
The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experiments with anti-Semitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings are removed 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 the same year Matisse becomes the new promoter of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, grieving the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions are held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially 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 begins ceramic work, creates murals and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years will be those of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, prints, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the peak of recognition, the highest honors that can be bestowed on an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In 1973 the Museum of the Biblical Message opens in Nice.
Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
