(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing secondary studies (1906), he attended Jehuda Pen's workshop for two months; the following year he studied at Zvanseva and at 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, met Guillaume Apollinaire, André Salmon, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars with whom he befriended. He first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 Der Stumm 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 Vitebsk Art School, organized teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the suprematist movement, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. The following year he began writing “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 would thereafter commission numerous works from 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 a work on the Bible, a project that would not be completed before 1956.
The 1930s were a period of numerous travels for him, experiments with anti-Semitism in Poland, 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 seller of his work. He returned to Paris in 1946, distressed by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions followed across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially he settled in Orgeval, then a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, before finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght became his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures. The next 35 years would be the hectic period of painting, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, and stained glass, marking the artist’s rise to the summit of recognition, 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 28 March 1988.
