(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a nine‑child Jewish family, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After finishing 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 patron’s work grant 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 first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 the Der Stum Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo exhibition.
In the early war he returned to Russia for several months but stayed there for several years, married, had his first child. The revolution exploded in 1917. He was appointed director of the School of Fine Arts of Vitebek, 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 in 1922 produced his first prints to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he found 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 became his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissioned a work on the Bible, a piece he would not complete until 1956.
The 1930s were a period of numerous travels for him, of experimentation with antisemitism in Poland, of his naturalization as French (1937). The year in which his paintings fell from German museums! The family took refuge in 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 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 were devoted to him across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). At first he settled in Orgeval, spent a long period in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settled in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, mural paintings and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be a period of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the summit of recognition, receiving the greatest honors that can be bestowed on an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In 1973 the Museum of the Biblical Message opened in Nice.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
