Artist Biography:
Marc Chagall was born on July 7, 1887, in Vitebsk, Belarus. The eldest of nine children in a Hasidic Jewish family, he grew up immersed in religious culture and Russian folklore, two major sources of his poetic world.
After a brief period in Jehuda Pen’s studio in Vitebsk, he settled in Saint Petersburg at the end of 1906. He enrolled in the Drawing School of the Imperial Society for the Protection of Fine Arts, then studied under Léon Bakst at the Svanseva School. It was with Bakst, set designer for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, that he discovered modern art and the paramount importance of color.
In 1909, he met Bella Rosenfeld, who would become his muse and wife, profoundly influencing his work.
