Born in Melitopol, Ukraine, the son of a carpenter, the artist Aleksandr Tyshler studied in Kiev and, after serving in a propaganda unit of the Red Army, continued his education in Moscow. He worked in various mediums: painting, sculpture, graphic design, and theatrical design. Beginning in the late 1920s and continuing through the 1940s, he designed sets for both the Yiddish- and Russian-language theaters.
