The artist Marc Chagall was born in Russia in 1887, but throughout his long life he frequently had to move either to develop his talent, or to escape a difficult political situation. His early childhood was hard, as he was the eldest of nine children, and his father was a herring merchant in the city of Vitebsk, so a little money had to go a very long way. He was still a child when he realised he wanted to become an artist, getting his early inspiration from watching other students drawing. He did find a small art college in his home town, but this did not satisfy his dreams, and he began to look further afield for his training when he was still in his teens.

First he left his home and moved to St Petersburg, where he enrolled in a leading art school. His artistic horizons were expanded by the works he saw there and the artists he could study. He became aware of such artists as Paul Gauguin, and also visited a number of experimental theatre productions. He returned regularly to his home, in Vitebsk, which is where he met his future wife, Bella Rosenfeld. In his autobiography ‘My Life’, Chagall writes of their first meeting, saying ‘Her silence is mine; her eyes mine.’

Soon Chagall realised he needed to leave Russia, and learn about new artistic movements such as Cubism, which was then the dominant art form in Paris. So in 1910 he went, on his own, to Paris, where he was able to study in various art colleges and in the studios of leading artists of the time; he also spent hours and days visiting museums and art galleries, such as the Louvre, as well as spending time in the Latin Quarter and Montmartre. He chose not to become associated with any single movement or style of art, but rather he wanted to develop his own ‘language of symbols’.

During these years away from home, as he began to succeed as an artist, he remained constant to his first love, Bella. In 1914 he had the opportunity to travel first to Berlin, where he sold many of his early works with the aid of a German art dealer. Then he travelled on to Russia, and married Bella a year later. In spite of the developing political unrest in Russia, which led to the Russian Revolution in 1917, Chagall’s artistic talent was soon recognised and by the time he was 30 he was a well-known artist, and had achieved a certain level of financial success. However, Chagall did not believe his future lay in Russia after the end of the revolution in 1918, so five years later he emigrated to France with his family.

He was soon successful in France, and became a leading member of the artistic establishment. However, with the rise of Nazism in Germany, Chagall and his family again had to flee – this time to America. He was not able to return to France until 1948, and this time he was alone, as Bella had died of a sudden illness in 1944. He remained in France until his death in 1985, leaving behind a huge legacy, not only of paintings, but also sculptures, theatrical sets and costume designs, stained glass windows and – perhaps most stunning of all – the ceiling of the Paris Opera Theatre, which he decorated in 1963. One of his biographer’s, Jackie Wollschlager, author of ‘Chagall: Love and Exile’, called him a ‘pioneer of modern art.’

Southerners live longer

Recent research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that, in spite of significant government efforts to remove inequalities between the north and south of England, there is still a huge divide between these two areas. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the figures for life expectancy – men in the south of England can expect to live nearly ten years longer than men in the north. The figures for women are slightly less startling, with women in the north living on average seven years less than their counterparts in the south.

The report in the British Medical Journal, published in 2013, was based on research carried out by the Office of National Statistics over a period of more than 40 years, from 1965 to 2008. It found that people in the north were a fifth more likely to die prematurely – defined as before the age of 75. The authors found that many different factors were probably the cause of this, including working conditions, poorer levels of education, a less healthy diet, and lower earnings, and believe that these factors could affect future generations, not just those at the centre of this study.

According to the ONS research, the people who can expect to live longest in the UK are the residents of East Dorset, where life expectancy for men is 83 years, while the figure for women is 86.4 years. It appears that both men and women benefit from the climate or, more likely, the healthy outdoor lifestyle of East Dorset, an area which extends from Weymouth on the coast, inland to Dorchester and Blandford Forum.

By contrast, the lowest life expectancies were in the north of England. Men in Blackpool could expect to live until they were 73.8 years old – nine years less than their compatriots in East Dorset. The lowest for women was in Manchester, where women could expect to live to an average of 79.3 years – seven years less than those in East Dorset.

The north-south divide in life expectancy matches patterns of socio-economic difference, meaning that both social factors (such as education, lifestyle including exercise, diet and addiction to smoking and drinking alcohol) and the level of earnings strongly influence life expectancy. Successive governments have had little success in their attempts to tackle this divide. The article in the British Medical Journal concluded that, among deaths from all causes, inequalities in the north-south divide ‘were severe and persistent’ over the four decades of the research period.

The economic disparities between north and south were marked and government policies between 2000 and 2008, aimed specifically at levelling out health inequalities, had failed to make much difference.

46 Significant inequalities still remain between the north and south of England.


47 Men in the south of England can expect to live, on average, ten years longer than men in the north.


48 The research carried out by the ONS followed two groups of children born in 1965, one group from the south and one group from the north.


49 According to the text, people who do not live beyond the age of 75 are considered not to have lived as long as would be expected.


50 The factors causing premature death in the north of England are likely to continue to have an impact on people living today.


51 Participation in exercise classes in East Dorset is higher than in Blackpool.


52 Men in Blackpool have an average life expectancy of 79.3


53 According to the text, educational achievement will influence life expectancy.


54 People in East Dorset earn, on average, twice as much as people in Blackpool.
