He was born on to a Jewish family in Nizhny Novgorod. He was adopted by the singer Pyotr Olenin and took his surname and patronymic. In 1914 he entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture and later studied at Vkhutemas. His teachers included Sergey Volnukhin, Sergey Konenkov, and Anna Golubkina. He graduated from Vkhutemas in 1923. He considered Mark Antokolsky Auguste Rodin and Vera Mukhina as his inspirations.
