Fleeing Russia after the Bolshevik takeover, Grinsson's family settled in Estonia, where he studied art in Tartu. Moving to Berlin to use his skills, he found work at the UFA Studio designing film posters. His drawing of an anti-Hitler election poster in 1932 led him to flee Germany to Paris after Hitler took power.[1]
