Artist Biography
Marc Chagall (1887- 1985), French
Marc
Chagall was born on July 7, 1887, in the Russian town of Vitebsk. From
1906 to 1909 he studied in St. Petersburg at the Imperial School for the
Protection of the Arts and with Léon Bakst. In 1910 he moved to Paris,
where he associated with Guillaume Apollinaire and
Robert Delaunay and encountered Fauvism and Cubism. He participated in
the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’Automne in 1912. His first solo
show was held in 1914 at Der Sturm gallery in Berlin.
Chagall returned to Russia during the war, settling in Vitebsk, where he was appointed Commissar for Art. He founded the
Vitebsk Popular Art School and directed it until disagreements with the
Suprematists resulted in his resignation in 1920. He moved to Moscow and
executed his first stage designs for the State Jewish Chamber Theater
there. After a sojourn in Berlin Chagall returned to Paris in 1923 and
met Ambroise Vollard. His first retrospective took place in 1924 at the
Galerie Barbazanges-Hodebert, Paris. During the 1930s he traveled to
Palestine, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, and Italy. In 1933 the
Kunsthalle Basel held a major retrospective of his work.
During World War II Chagall fled to the United States.
The Museum of Modern Art, New York, gave him a retrospective in 1946. He
settled permanently in France in 1948 and exhibited in Paris, Amsterdam,
and London. During 1951 he visited Israel and executed his first
sculptures. The following year the artist traveled in Greece and Italy. In
1962 he designed windows for the synagogue of the Hadassah Medical Center
near Jerusalem and the cathedral at Metz. He designed a ceiling for Opéra
in Paris in 1964 and murals for the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, in
1965. An exhibition of the artist’s work from 1967 to 1970 was held at the
Louvre, Paris, in 1977-78. Chagall died in St Paul de Vence, France, on
March 28, 1985.
