(*) 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 working scholarship from a patron that allowed him to live in Paris. He settled in La Ruche (the Beehive), worked intensely, and met Guillaume Apollinaire, André Salmon, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars, with whom he befriended. He first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914 the Der Stum Gallery (Berlin) organized his first solo exhibition. At the start of the war he returns to Russia for a few months but stays there for several years, marries, and has his first child. The revolution breaks out in 1917. He is named director of the School of Fine Arts of Vitebeck, organizes the teaching, inviting Pougny, El Lissitzky, Malevich. After a disagreement with the Suprematist current, in 1920 Chagall resigns and settles in Moscow. A year later he begins drafting “My Life,” his autobiography, and creates 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 Bible project, a work he would not complete until 1956. The 1930s for him are a period of numerous travels, experiments with antisemitism in Poland, and his naturalization as French (1937). The year his paintings are removed from German museums! 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, grieved by the death of his wife Bella (1944). After the retrospective organized by MoMA in 1947, several exhibitions are held across Europe (Paris, Amsterdam, Bern, Zurich). Initially he settles in Orgeval, spends a long stay in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat until finally settling in Vence, where Aimé Maeght is now his agent. Chagall begins working in ceramics, creates murals, and his first sculptures. The next 35 years are those of frenetic work (paintings, frescoes, decoration, engravings, mosaics, stained glass) that will see the artist rise to the peak of recognition, with the greatest honors that can be bestowed on an artist, one of the masters of the 20th century. The Museum of Biblical Message opens in Nice in 1973. Chagall dies in Saint-Paul-de-Vence on March 28, 1988.
