Biography
1887
Marc Chagall was born on July 7 in Vitebsk, a provincial town in the vast Russian Empire, located in present-day Belarus. Moyshe Segal—his real name—was born into a modest Jewish family. He was the first of nine children (seven girls and two boys). His mother, Feïga-Ita Tchernina, sold groceries from the ground floor of their house on Pokrovskaïa street. His father, Khatskel Segal, worked as a herring pickler at a warehouse on the bank of the Dvina River in Jachnine.
The Second Half of the 1890s
Chagall attended the heder, a traditional Jewish elementary school where around ten local boys aged between three and thirteen were instructed by a tutor. He looked after them and taught them prayers and Bible passages in Hebrew. Chagall also took singing and violin lessons there. He would spend his summers in Liozno, a village around 40 kilometers from Vitebsk, where he’d be surrounded by his grandparents, uncles, aunts, and various farm animals.
1900-1905

Marc Chagall[a] (born Moishe Shagal; 6 July [O.S. 24 June] 1887 – 28 March 1985[b]) was a Russian and French artist.[c] An early modernist, he was associated with the École de Paris, as well as several major artistic styles and created works in a wide range of artistic formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints.

27 May - 28 August 2017
Throughout his life, the inventive genius of Marc Chagall (1887-1985) pushed him to explore highly varied artistic techniques, including drawing, painting, engraving, ceramics, mosaics, stained-glass and tapestry. This wide range also includes one of the artist's practices of which the general public is still largely unaware – sculpture. With the exception of L'Épaisseur des rêves (The Thickness of Dreams) displayed at Roubaix in 2012 at the Piscine-Musée d’art et d’industrie André Diligent, very few exhibitions have been dedicated to this subject. The Marc Chagall National Museum, whose collection houses five exceptional carved stones, has chosen to reveal this still little-known aspect of the artist's work in summer 2017.
Marc Chagall discovered the practice of sculpture in 1949 when he moved to Vence, on the Côte d'Azur. The artist's first f
