(*) 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 he attended Zvanseva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop 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 Beehive), 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 years 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 named director of the Fine Arts School of Vitebeck, 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 engravings to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard who would from then on commission numerous works. His life was full of new encounters: Teriade, 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 Bible project, a work not completed until 1956.
The 1930s for him were years of numerous travels, experiments with antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as a French citizen (1937). The year his paintings began to leave German museums! The family sought 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 representative of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, troubled by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MoMA in 1947, he had several exhibitions across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). At first he settled in Orgeval, spent a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall took up ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be a period of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that saw the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In Nice, 1973, the Biblical Message Museum opens.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
