Marc Chagall Collection
MARC CHAGALL was born in 1887 in the Belorussian city of Vitsyebsk, a major lively city, as well as a center of Jewish culture. Even in his youth, Chagall showed an interest in painting. He spent a brief period studying at the School of Fine Arts, where he was introduced to Leon Bakst, the designer for the Russian Ballet who would become Chagall's teacher. In 1910, a patron sponsored Chagall's move to Paris; and, in 1911, he moved to a studio in "La Ruche" (The Beehive). There he was introduced to many figures that were prominent in the Parisian avant-garde. Before Paris, his style was rooted in realism, but his new works reflected an interest in Fauvism and Cubism. Chagall lived in Paris until 1914, at which time he returned to Vitsyebsk. His painting style changed even more during these years, and he tempered his avant-garde work with more personal work. In 1922, Chagall left Russia and moved to Berlin, then returned to Paris a year after that. He illustrated books for the art dealer Ambrose Vollard, including an edition of the Bible. He also participated in countless exhibits and traveled extensively. Chagall's autobiography, My Life, was published in 1931, and a retrospective of his work was held in 1933. In 1941, with the outbreak of World War II and Nazi persecution, Chagall was forced into exile in the United States. He painted the ceiling of the Paris Opera in 1964, and also executed murals for the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Marc Chagall died in 1985.
