About this ebook
He was born to a peasant family that had recently moved to Murom from a rural village. His father was a roofer and house painter who headed a small cooperative that built and repaired numerous structures there.
In 1893, a local teacher became impressed with his drawing skills an introduced him to Alexander Morozov, who spent the summers painting in Murom. Morozov was impressed as well and advised his parents to enroll him in the drawing school at the Imperial Society for the Encouragement of the Arts.
He departed later that year, stopping in Moscow on the way to visit the Tretyakov Gallery and the Rumyantsev Museum.
When he arrived in Saint Petersburg, he took a position as an assistant in Morozov's studio. The following year, he enrolled at the drawing school, where his instructors included Aleksey Afanas'ev and Ernst Liphart. In 1896, he began auditing classes at the Imperial Academy of Arts; briefly with Vladimir Makovsky, then with Ilya Repin. In 1898, upon Repin's recommendation, he became a regular student there.
From 1901 to 1902, he and Boris Kustodiev helped Repin paint his monumental work "The Ceremonial Meeting of the State Council May 7, 1901" for the Mariinsky Palace; providing sketches for most of the portraits. During that same period, he created illustrations for Twenty-six Men and a Girl and Konovalov, both by Maxim Gorky.
He graduated from the Academy in 1902 with a gold medal, the title of "Free Artist" and a stipend to study abroad. From 1903 to 1905, he used that stipend to visit Italy and France. When he returned, he won awards at several exhibitions, was offered employment as Director of the Kharkov art school in 1912 and was named an "Academician" in 1915.
