(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of nine children in a Jewish family, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After finishing secondary studies (1906), he attended Jehuda Pen’s workshop for two months; the next year he studied at Zvanseva and worked in 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 Hive), worked intensely, and met Guillaume Apollinaire, André Salmon, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars with whom he formed friendships. He first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. 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 revolution broke out in 1917. He was named director of the Vitebek School of Fine Arts, organized the teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the supremacist 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 commission numerous works from him thereafter. His life is filled with new encounters: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. The year 1926 marked his first exhibition in the United States. In 1927 Bernheim-Jeune became his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissioned him to work on the Bible, a work he would not complete before 1956.
The 1930s were a period of numerous travels for him, of experiments with anti-Semitism in Poland, and 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 the same year Matisse became the new promoter of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, distressed 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). Initially he settled in Orgeval, spent a long sojourn in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settled in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, created mural paintings and his first sculptures.
The next 35 years would be the era of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, among the greatest honors that can be bestowed on an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century.
In Nice, 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message was inaugurated.
Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
