С Telingater studied at the Art Studios of the Ministry of People’s Education in Azerbaijan, then in VKHUTEMAS- (Higher Art Technical Studios) in Moscow (1920-1921). From 1925, he worked in many journals and publishing houses. Telingater was one of the first illustrators of A. Block’s poem “Twelve”.
