Vasily Pereplyotchikov

He was born to a family of well-to-do merchants and began his formal education at the Academy of Commercial Sciences [ru].

A meeting with Ivan Shishkin convinced him that he would rather be a painter, so he switched to courses taught by Vasily Polenov.

After 1886, he and his colleagues published an occasional journal; «Периодического выпуска рисунков русских художников» (Periodical Publication of Drawings of Russian Artists).

The first issue included works by Korovin, Sergei Ivanov, Isaac Levitan, Viktor Simov and Alexei Stepanov.

The following year he, Kiselyov, Nikolai Clodt and Leonid Pasternak were featured in a special edition of the magazine, «Артист» (Artist).
