Later he studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, which after the revolution was transformed into the Free Art Workshops. In 1913, together with V.N. Chekrygin Zhegin illustrated V. Mayakovsky’s first book “I”. In 1921 he joined the famous Moscow group “Makovets”, working in which he became increasingly inclined towards religious symbolism.
