Yury was born into the family of Konstantin Artsybushev (1849-1901), a nobleman by birth, a railway engineer, and his wife Maria Lakhtina (1859-1919). Yury spent his childhood and youth in Moscow. He graduated from the Voskresensky School in Moscow.

The first series of sketches were made at the trials on abuses in the army (summer 1916), over the participants in the food riots (autumn 1916), over the agents of the Moscow Security Office (April 1917). At the end of 1916, Artsybushev dedicated a series of drawings to the Moscow City Duma.
