Marc Chagall - part 1

c1915 Portrait of Marc Chagall by Yehuda Pen

Marc Zakharovich Chagall ( born Moishe Zakharovich Shagalov 1887 - 1985) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic format, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.

Born in Vitebsk, Russia, of a deeply religious Jewish family. First artistic instruction under Penn, a local painter, then spent 1907-10 in St Petersburg, where he entered the Imperial School for the Protection of the Fine Arts, and later studied under Bakst. Lived 1910-14 in Paris, where he met Apollinaire, Delaunay, Leger, Modigliani and Lhote. Somewhat influenced by Cubism, but differed from it in his love of fantasy. He held his first one-man exhibition at the Galerie Der Sturm, Berlin, 1914. He returned to Russia the same year and had to remain there because of the war. 

After the Revolution, he was appointed Fine Arts Commissar for the province of Vitebsk and directed an art academy; he also executed murals for Granovsky's Jewish Theatre in Moscow. Spent 1922-3 in Berlin, then 1923-40 in Paris, except for visits to Egypt, Palestine, Holland, Spain, Portugal and Italy; in addition to paintings he made illustrations for Gogol's “Dead Souls,” for La Fontaine's Fables and the Bible. He was in the USA as a refugee 1941-47, then returned to France, settling in 1950 at Saint Paul de Vence. His later works include a new ceiling painting for the Paris Opéra and, from 1957 a number of commissions for stained glass.
