(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After finishing secondary studies (1906), for two months he frequented Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year he attended Zvanseva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a working 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 exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Independants. In 1914 the Der Stum Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo exhibition.
At the beginning of the war he returned to Russia for several months but stayed there for several years, married, and had his first child. The 1917 revolution broke out. He was appointed director of the Vitebsk Art School, 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 to write “My Life,” his autobiography, and produced his first engravings, in 1922, to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he found Vollard who from then on would commission numerous works for him. His life was full of new encounters: Tériade, 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 work on the Bible, a piece he would not finish until 1956.
The 1930s for him were a period of numerous travels, of experiments with antisemitism in Poland, of his naturalization as French (1937). The year his paintings were removed 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 that same year Matisse became the new marketer of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, grieved by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA, in 1947, several exhibitions were dedicated to him across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). In a first phase he settled in Orgeval, stayed long in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally establishing himself in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall began working in ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures.
The following 35 years would be ones of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, one of the great masters of the 20th century.
In Nice, in 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message was inaugurated.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
