CHAGALL

Marc Chagall was born in 1887 in Vitebsk, Belarus, to a Hassidic Jewish family. He was part of the artistic avant-garde revolutions in Paris, from 1911 to 1914, and in Russia, finally settling in France with his wife, Bella, and daughter, Ida. Forced to leave his adoptive country by the rising tide of Nazism, he lived from 1941 to 1947 in exile in the United States, where Bella died suddenly in 1944. On his return to France, he lived in Orgeval, then Vence, before finally moving to Saint-Paul-de-Vence in 1966. Chagall is a painter of singular worlds, nourished by his origins and a profound humanism. He explored every artistic technique through the design of monumental theater sets, sculptures, ceramics, stained-glass windows, mosaics and tapestries. He died in Saint-Paulde-Vence in 1985, at the age of 97, after a long day working in his studio.
