Internet and Culture: Official website dedicated to Marc Chagall to be launched in March 2023

Marcchagall.com, the official website dedicated to Marc Chagall (1887-1985), and the promotion and understanding of his work, will be available online from March 15, 2023.

As the first initiative devoted to the artist on such a large scale, the website will provide a comprehensive overview of this major twentieth-century artist’s creation. These are, for example, a selection of works, a look back over Marc Chagall’s different studios, archival documents, a presentation of the artist’s different techniques. This original project, led by the Association des Amis de Marc Chagall, in partnership with the Réunion des Musées Nationaux, the Institut national de l’audiovisuel and the Musée national Marc Chagall in Nice, invites visitors to discover the scope, diversity and richness of the artist’s work, offering new perspectives on his various explorations.

Within the framework of the project, the catalogue raisonné will be presented listing all the works created by the artist throughout his career, from 1906 to 1985. The first volume will be published for the launch of the website in March 2023. Devoted to the sculptures of Marc Chagall, it will contain 97 sculptures created between 1952 and 1983. The second volume, scheduled for 2024, will be devoted to the artist’s ceramics.

The Discovery section of the website allows users to navigate through selections of works thanks to different approaches: thematic, visual, sensory and documentary. The Archives Marc et Ida Chagall, a collection of several thousand documents, is the most important archive devoted to the artist Marc Chagall. Composed of Marc Chagall’s correspondence (1910-1985), the collection is supplemented by numerous administrative documents, photographs of various works and documentary resources, the result of a long work of digitisation. The archive will include correspondence between Marc and Ida Chagall, as well as documents that shed light on Marc Chagall’s relationship with outstanding artists of the twentieth century, including authors such as André Breton, Robert Delaunay, Le Corbusier, Diego Rivera, and others.
