[1] Ioganson attended the Moscow School of Art, and studied under Kelin, Kasatkin and Malyutin.

In 1922, he helped found the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia, and abruptly transferred into the realm of Socialist Realism.
Ioganson's work was inspired by that of Repin, that is exhibiting certain features of Impressionism, and was often narrative in nature.
His notable students included Alexey Eriomin, Nikolai Baskakov, Valery Vatenin, Nina Veselova, Maya Kopitseva, Oleg Lomakin, Valentina Monakhova, Nikolai Mukho, Anatoli Nenartovich, Mikhail Natarevich, Semion Rotnitsky, Mikhail Trufanov, Yuri Tulin, Knarik Vardanyan,[3] and Felix Lembersky.
