(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing his secondary studies (1906), he attended Jehuda Pen’s workshop for two months; the following year he studied at the Zvanseva school and in the workshop of Leon Bakst 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 exhibited for the first time 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 a few months but stayed there for several years, got married, had his first child. The revolution broke out in 1917. He was appointed director of the School of Fine Arts in Vitebsk, organized teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. A year later he began writing “My Life”, his autobiography, and in 1922 he produced his first engravings to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard who from then on commissioned numerous works. 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 project on the Bible, a work he would not complete until 1956.
The 1930s for him were a period of numerous travels, experiments with anti-Semitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year when 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 a retrospective organized by the MOMA in 1947, several exhibitions followed across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). In a first phase he settled in Orgeval, then had a long sojourn in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat before finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures.
The following 35 years would be those of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the peak of recognition, receiving the greatest honors that could be accorded to an artist, one of the 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.
