(*) 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 attended Jehuda Pen’s workshop; the following year the Zvanseva school and Leon Bakst’s workshop, in Saint Petersburg. In 1910 Chagall obtained a patron-funded 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 befriended. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon of the Independents. In 1914 the Der Stum Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo show. At the beginning of the war he returns to Russia for a few months but stays there for several years, marries, has his first child. The revolution breaks out in 1917. He is named director of the School of Fine Arts of Vitebeck, organizes teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the Suprematist current, in 1920, Chagall resigns and settles in Moscow. The following year he begins to write “My Life,” his autobiography, and makes his first engravings in 1922 to illustrate his work. In 1923 he returns to Paris where he meets Vollard who from then on commissions numerous works. His life is filled with new encounters: Tériade, Maillol, Rouault, Vlaminck, Bonnard. The year 1926 marks his first exhibition in the United States. In 1927 Bernheim-Jeune becomes his agent. In 1930 Vollard commissions a work on the Bible, a piece he would not complete until 1956. The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experimentation with antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year when his paintings are pulled from the museums of Germany! The family takes refuge in Saint-Die sur Loire; later, in 1940, in Gordes. He emigrates to the United States in 1941 and the same year Matisse becomes the new promoter of his work. He returns to Paris in 1946, stricken by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by the MOMA, in 1947, several exhibitions are dedicated to him throughout Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially he settles in Orgeval, spends a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until he finally settles in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall begins working in ceramics, creates murals and his first sculptures. The next 35 years will be ones of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, prints, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the pinnacle of recognition, one of the greatest honors that can be conferred on a 20th-century master. In Nice, in 1973, the Museum of the Biblical Message opens. Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
