His grand father and father were both sculptors, and his mother a portrait painter.
Neverthless, he studied and became a mechanical engeneering. But in 1923 he moved to New York to study at the Art Students League .
Two years later he went to Europe. First London and then Paris.
It was in Paris he had the chance to meet surrealist and dadaist artists and began his life as a sculptor.
