After receiving a commercial education, he took his first art lessons with Robert Scheffer. He then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, with Christian Griepenkerl. He befriended his fellow student, Egon Schiele and, in 1914, married Schiele's sister, Gertrude. He exhibited at the Vienna Künstlerhaus from 1910 to 1919 and, from 1922 to 1935, was a member of the Hagenbund. He won a competition for designing stamps in 1921 and another for designing banknotes in 1925. In 1923, Fritz Karpfen wrote enthusiastically about Peschka in his overview of Austrian art: “His paintings are penetrating, blasting through conventional shapes while happily constructing a new You feel that this is an artist able to achieve something great, who has within him the means to do this.”
