(*) Marc Chagall, the eldest of a Jewish family of nine children, was born in Vitebsk (Russia) in 1887. After completing secondary studies (1906), for two months he attended Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year the Zvanzeva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron’s work grant 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 formed a friendship. 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 School of Fine Arts in Vitebsk, organized teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. Following a disagreement with the suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall resigned and settled in Moscow. The following year he began drafting “My Life,” his autobiography, and produced his first etchings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returned to Paris where he met Vollard who henceforth would commission numerous works. His life was 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 a work on the Bible, a project 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 his paintings were pulled from museums in Germany! The family took refuge in Saint-Dié-sur-Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrated to the United States in 1941 and in 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 held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). At first he settled in Orgeval, spent a long time in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall began working with ceramics, created murals and his first sculptures. The next 35 years would be ones of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that would see the artist rise to the peak of recognition, with the greatest honors offered to an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century. The Museum of the Biblical Message was inaugurated in Nice in 1973. Chagall died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
