The source of his creative inspiration has always been Saratov Region, favorite places - the vicinity of Saratov, and selected areas of the field. In the early years it was Zaton Zaymishche (both formerly known floodplain Guselki). Volga bank near Saratov, Razboyschina, Polivanovka, where artists love to write the older generation, the teacher.
The 30-ies BV Milovidov "mastered" 9 th and 10 th Vacation stop. Kumysnuyu Polyana, small and large Polivanovki, Balanda, Scherbakovka, Turku (1940).
Trip to Scherbakovka held in 1938, together with I.N Shcheglov (5) at the invitation of his wife Ya.Ya. Weber, Leontine Ivanovna. The result of years of work were landscapes "River Scherbakovka", "Compound" (courtyard of the house of Ya Ya Weber). "Utes Stepan Razin" painting "Malta ripened. During the war years artists opened a remarkable place - Green Island, given away to citizens under the gardens, where they identified a piece of land.
Floodplain oak forests with an abundance of lilies of the valley, oak mane, meadows with the richest grasses, inland lakes and streams with clear water, the centuries-old black poplars along the coast, the Volga. All this gave rise to a lot of subjects to be creative. Returning after being wounded from the front, he wrote then, "Beach Green Island", "poplar on the shore of Green Island. "Water meadow to the Green Island", "Crystal Lake", "Garden on the Green Island" and other landscapes.
For several years, Boris went to the Ust-Kurdyumov, lived with fishermen fishing team, and participated with them in fishing nets, collecting material for the film "Fishers", a color sketch that was shown at the exhibition, conceived but never implemented. In Ust-Kurdyumskaya sketches written painting "The fishing camp on the Volga", donated from Saratov to the 250 anniversary of Leningrad.
Since the mid 60-ies became a creative base giving the Union of Artists in the superintendent, where he wrote many sketches, landscapes, this material born paintings "Fields Saratov." "Field of gold". "Steppe", "Dawn Evening. "Love Russia.
Leaving the students of the Art School in the open air, he also enjoyed the opportunity to work, so among the landscapes of his surroundings and is Bald Hills and Vyazovka.
For the limits of the Saratov land he traveled little. Twice visited the Black Sea, Lazarev, from where he brought a lot of marine landscapes, painted in oil and gouache, a type of coastal mountains and gorges.
In the early 60 hgodov I worked in Novosibirsk, where he came to visit me. Not parting, as usual, with a painter's case, he found interesting for myself stories. The result was a series of travel urban landscapes, still life from Globe Asiatic "Siberian" lights "," Venus shoes, "landscape" Siberian birch. "And in painting, graphics, Yves favorite genre BV Milovidova - the landscape, and favorite themes - a few.
Volga inspired by the artist from a young age throughout life, as evidenced by stories of his sketches and paintings: "Sail on the Volga", "Etude" On the Volga "(1925)," "Titanic," "grass-roots Wind" (1926, 1934, 1937 . 1970).

He wrote the Volga and the early morning, at sunrise, and in the midday heat, when in calm weather it is mirror smooth, quiet, with reflection of clouds drifting in the sky, and light wind, when the whole of its surface shines and sparkles, dazzling the eyes and at sunset, splash water all sorts of colors. He loved the late summer twilight, moonrise, and the enchanting beauty of the moonlit night. No less was his favorite theme of the corn fields, verdant or keeping up loaves of bread - rye, wheat, oat, millet fields. Having survived, along with the entire country a lot of difficult periods, he knew the price of bread as a source of life, seeing the fat in peasant bread enjoyed coming harvest and with special reverence to the ears of grain, a few pieces which have always had on his desk. About passion for writing cereal fields say the following works: "Threshing" (1927), "Rye in the sacrum (" Rye in the crosses, "1934), came from France. (1934)." Rye. (1937), "Harvest.

Saratov steppe region - birthplace of Boris, which he infinitely loved and defended as a veteran of World War II. He had to fight on the central front of Vyazma, among coniferous forests. He recalls how, after returning wounded from the hospital home: on the way to Saratov on him suddenly smelled the steppe air - the smell of wormwood, a bitter wormwood, yarrow, dried herbs. He immediately remembered him, got excited, he felt the proximity of the house (6).
Naturally, the expression of his feelings and sentiments are steppe landscapes: sketches and paintings. These are the "Dali" (1937), "Steppe" (1967. 100x145). "Autumn Grass" (1970). "Forbs. (1970). 'Love Russia' (1971)," Delphinium blooms, (1973), "Blue Steppe" (1973). Palette of colors on canvas BV Milovidova varied. He sought to natural color reproduction of different states of nature depending on time of year and day. His attention was attracted by the calm and the colors of early spring, and the play of pearl gray days and bright fall colors, and glowing sunsets, and the lowering clouds. his brush, he stopped a lot of beautiful moments: "In the spring. (1926), "Spring tide" (1957), "Morning" (1969), "Evening" (1940), "Evening in the Forest" (1937), "Evening. Polivanovka" (1937).

"Siberian Birch" (1965), "The old poplar" (1964). "Roots" (1963), etc.

By manufacturing the theme BV Milovidov rarely addressed. Nevertheless, the first big picture of him - the Pioneer model airplanes "(1934). The idea originated as a result of her frequent visits to the pioneer camp of sanatorium at the 11 th Dachnaya stop. Our family spent the summer, taking a room from the owners of cottages, nearby, on the 10 th Dachnaya stop in the middle of the forest. In the camp went to visit, to pioneering the fires that were lit only after nightfall. Big fire in the glade flashed on the background of the birch forest at night. Children took their seats around the campfire, sang and performed a concert. Father watched and made drawings. Upon returning to Saratov, he was born specifically to work on the topic, I went to draw the pioneers in the circle model airplanes of the Pioneer.
Interest in the Pioneers, Pioneer topics preserved. He was pleased to participate in the decoration of the building of the future of the Palace of Pioneers, befriended in the last years of his life with the children's band harmonics "Bell" and its leader, SA Popov, the guys made a lot of drawings, painted a portrait of one of them. who later became helicopter pilots and a member of the Afghan war. All figures referred me to the Palace of Youth Creativity, the museum ensemble "Bell".
In the 20 th and 30 th years of production topics BV Milovidova made autolithographies: "Mostostroy", "The Forge", "Forge shop Remzavoda", "a locomotive shop, a 40-s images:" field camp in Turku "," Combine "Stalinetz": paint a picture "Fishing camp on the Volga .
A special place in his work is a series of sheets, gouache, tempera, in a mixed technique on the construction of road bridge over the Volga: "Eighth reliance. "Volga weekday", "Farm" Bird "on the stocks," "Birdy and pontoons," "Ninth support. "The first spans from Saratov. "Soon the bridge will connect," "Bird carrying on pontoons," "Everyday work of the Volga", "project site Mostostroya and others worked on the construction was at times difficult. Span of the bridge, still had no fences, windy. If a strong wind had to lie down on the concrete, cover the paper to carried away.
Along with teaching, classes in painting and drawing, his father worked in the field of book graphics. Since 1928 worked with the Saratov Publishing (7), as well as some others.
During his life, he participated in the design of 130 publications, which made drawings, covers, dust jackets, titles, flyleaf, etc. Book graphic was displayed at several exhibitions: book graphic artists of Saratov (1951, 23 samples), at the personal exhibition of the 70 th anniversary (1973, 8 samples), the posthumous exhibition (1976, 31 model), works veterans of World War II (1977, 16 samples), book graphics, on the 70 th anniversary of the Volga in book publishing (1990, 19 samples), personal exhibition in the museum of local lore Engels (1990-1991, 39 samples), the exhibition "The Face of nature" (ibid., 1991 , 15 drawings). In the field of poster graphics, BB Milovidov began working in the 20's.

BV Milovidov - Artist wide creative range. He worked in the technique of oil and tempera paintings, gouaches, watercolors, mixed media, graphics (using pencil, ink, Chinese ink, sauce, wet charcoal, felt pen, pen), studied lithography, the book charts, posters (10).
However, twice he showed himself to be monumental.

So far, they have survived, continuing to remain unique. In the late 60's, he completed murals in the museum of rare books in the Research Library of the University.

He, along with the artist, AN Chechnevym, honored on the night of May 9, 1945 to write slogans to commemorate the victory over Nazi Germany.

Artists usually do not keep strict account of his work. Over the years, forget the year of writing, whereabouts. Therefore, make an inventory of creative heritage is very difficult. However, the fate of many works were able to trace.
In the Saratov Art Museum named after AN Radishchev located 27 paintings and 7 graphic works, in the Saratov Regional Museum - the picture "Field of gold, four sheets of the series" The construction of road bridge over the Volga, 3 kinoplakata 20-ies, posters of the war years.

Along with the theater IV Sevost'yanova had visited on tour in Japan, where he is, of course, drew and gave his teacher a few watercolors with a view of the pagodas.
Fomichev Vasily Osipovich. Painter, Honored Artist of the RSFSR. He considered himself a disciple of Boris and the day of his 60-year anniversary gave his landscape "Autumn" with the inscription: "From the student BO Fomicheva - teacher BV Milovidova.
BV Milovidov his teaching career began with the lithographs, which mastered their own production workshops in college, as well as in Moscow, where he trained at the "Working paper. Following the establishment of a college graphics department, became his teacher. However, the graphic arts department at all schools, including those in Saratov, were eliminated in connection with the opening in Moscow Polygraphic Institute. After that, he worked as a teacher of drawing and painting.
By its nature, the warehouse, he is very consistent with the rank of the teacher. Balanced, friendly, attentive he inspired confidence in students. Often among the students come across difficult - unbalanced, slackers, devoid of a sense of responsibility, thoughtless, restless. Most often these qualities were manifested in the time of writing term papers and dissertations. And then it was manifested in his father's pedagogical tact and perseverance, began the struggle for rights. We had to go home, look for "deserters", to persuade, to inspire confidence in their strength.
The pedagogical staff of the Art School was always a cohesive, friendly. At his father went to work as a holiday. With colleagues took shape not only good business, but also friendships. Some well remember myself and the stories of their parents. Preparation for classes, Boris selected from its library books to display - "Images of the old masters." "Anatomy for Artists", "Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci and others.
For still-life paintings often took home pieces of ceramics and textiles - in the school during the war years was a lack of basic necessities (12). When undergraduate students are taught to draw and paint man, Boris tried to find the artist's model with the original appearance, colorful, large. To search was on top or Walking the markets, the bank of the Volga. Observed the vending facial features, and someone managed to persuade to pose.

The most striking example of the sitters was Jacob Tarasovich Podgornoe, however, found him not the father, and someone from the teachers, who turned out with him in the hospital, in the history of the school no longer had not worked: 13 years! In all, he worked at the school 18 years ... He drew and painted several generations of students and teachers - naked and in different clothes: fishing boots, shoe covers with the network in their hands, a soldier's overcoat, in working overalls. And every time that a lively, compelling, a new image. The secret of such creative longevity is that Jacob Tarasovich, a working-pressman by trade, attracting athletic, well-developed muscles, an outstanding appearance: a good head of hair and thick mustache, who rarely wore, set him apart in the noise. Arriving at school, he began to pose in groups BV Milovidova. IN Shcheglov, EF Eckert. Friendship with him his father lasted until the end of life.
By long tradition of students of senior courses during the holidays were taken in Moscow and Leningrad, to show museums, exhibitions, visit the theater to introduce the cultural life of the capital. In the winter vacation in 1948 to lead a trip befell my father. With him gone and me. This was a course that is taught Vera Shabanov, Nina Kondratiev. VA Kupriyanov, SG Kartashov, who later became head teacher the school. On arrival in Moscow, housed in a dormitory school of circus arts. Her dream of all - most fall into the Tretyakov. However, it became clear that access to it is only possible with the certificate from the sanitary inspection ... Is the situation of the postwar period.
Refined in witticisms, the whole team went to a nearby bath, were cherished document, then we missed in the gallery.
Fortunately, the certificate gave the right and on follow-up visits, as well as inspecting the picture slowly, carefully listening to the explanation of the teacher. Undergraduates feel real artists, so ask questions and make their judgments. Referring to the portraits, the father asked to describe image of a man, to make the main character traits.
From colleagues in the college for his father a lot. Well remembered FV Belousov, VN Nikitin, IN Shcheglov, EF Eckert, EG Morozov, VF Gurov, GY Melnikov, later - V. Belonovich, BC Assumption. VA Konyagin.
Fedor V. Belousov - a man of tragic destiny. During the 30 years he stayed alone with her small son Borey-wife left him, fleeing the German izhenerom on contract to Germany They lived on the second floor of the house on Gorky Street, at the corner of Little Cossack.
In 1939 Fedor died of pneumonia. In the large hall at the College of Lenin Street memorial service was held, were gathered a lot of people at the tomb were replaced in the guard of honor teachers. Then - burial at Resurrection Cemetery, followed by Boria brought home to us, before the arrival of Leningrad grandmothers, mothers-Fyodor. Until 1941, she remained in Saratov, taking care of her grandson. My mother and I visit them. After-school grandmother left with Northwind in Leningrad. War broke out. Then there was a letter to the Union of Artists to help. Lump sum help. More news was not, apparently, they were killed in besieged Leningrad.
Vladimir Ilyich Nikitin was older than his father, participated in the imperialist war, which lost his left arm above the elbow. Few who knew him thought that was lucky: "Well, that is not right!" And he was left-handed ... Despite this, drew, wrote sketches right. Often came to his father. The favorite topic of his talk was hunting, especially at a woodcock, - he was an avid hunter, tried to attach to her father. But further acquisition of guns did not get. Shot like a fly on the hoopoe, the father was shocked by the deed, and never after did not kill any living creatures.
In 1937 at the initiative of Vladimir Ilyich settled for the summer together at the 9 th Dachnaya stop in one of Compound. There father wrote landscapes "Dali" and "Pond in the 9 th Dachnaya.
In the early 90-ies, I had to talk with one of the old residents of the village Marfino that Atkarsk area. Is remarkable Marfinskiy park of pine trees, declared a Natural Monument. The manor house has not survived, but an old-timer recalled that long ago - long ago an artist with one hand each year come to Marfino and painted the house. SG Kartashov confirmed that the artist was so Nikitin, who dreamed Marfino to buy a home. Sought out his son, Leonid, who remembered this picture. However, when moving into a new apartment, after the death of his father, he left a box with pictures in an old house, and after a few days he was not found. So from the creative heritage of VI Nikitina, apparently, nothing left.
Ivan Shcheglov Nikitich also met with the father. In 1938, at the invitation of his wife Ya.Ya. Weber, Leontine Ivanovna, decided together to go to Scherbakovka. Our family lived in the house of Weber, and Ivan Nikitich separately, removing the room in the house of a local resident, the same, which is home to a family friend of my mother. The distance between the houses were about a mile (it was a farm), the road is deserted. Ivan Nikitich was a peculiar character, somewhat withdrawn. Written sketches he brought to his room and nobody showed. On these days the memory remains in the museum collection name Radishcheva - painting "River Scherbakovka."
Above Ivan Nikitich love banter, Places around were sparsely populated at night could be heard howling from the nearest wooded ravines. So come up with. My father learned to perfectly imitate the howling of the wolves howling and it scared Shcheglov. Pre-agreed on everything, my mother and the evening went to visit my mother's friend. Father remained, ostensibly at home, but in fact what was intended by the time he hid in a dense orchard, past which must take place. Overstayer late, my mother asked Shcheglova to us, and he began to make excuses at first, and then, reluctantly, still disagreed. When we approached the father began to give voice to the lupine LIKE indistinguishable, and Shcheglov some shade. However, remained a "gentleman" and escorted us to the porch. Such tricks were repeated until tired. Shcheglov never knew who was the "wolf." Throughout his life his father many times had to fill out forms and write an autobiography. In one of them he wrote: "Since childhood, I decided to become an artist." Arriving in the art in 1918, he took the realistic tradition of the Saratov school, originating from the realist school since the Wanderers.
He wrote: "In art, including fine, the main thing - an expression of thoughts, feelings, attitude, everything that could be called the spiritual atmosphere of the time. I wanted in my beautiful landscapes express the spiritual atmosphere of our time."

BV Milovidov - artist and teacher
Boris Milovidov, Honored Worker of Culture of the RSFSR - Saratov artist not only by birth, years of study and residence in Saratov, but also perceived by their teachers - MV Kuznetsova, A. Savinov, KG Polyakov, PS Utkin (1) - the traditions of the Saratov school of painting (2), which he put into practice as an artist and teacher.
He was born October 30 (November 12, NS) in 1902 in Saratov.
In 1918 he entered the Higher State Free Art Studios, which at the time of graduation in 1926 have been converted into art school. He received a specialty called "techniques of decorative painting and lithography." "The creative life of BV Milovidova started early. The 18-year old student, he first participated in the Art Exhibition in 1920 (3). At the time of graduation, he became a member of the nine exhibitions (4), including the Society of Artists Exhibition" Four Arts "in Moscow. Among the first works were portraits (" Portrait in Blue, "" Portrait of DK ") and landscapes (" Sails on the Volga, "" Etude "On the Volga," "Sketch of the tree." "Sokolov Mountain" , "The Bridge on the Moscow - river", "Steamers", "Rushes," "Poplar Mountain," "Spring," "Grasslands", "Volga"), still life ("Astra", "Flowers"). In 1924, before graduating from college, BV Milovidov was invited for a teaching job on the graphics department College, later received the status of the school, and worked there for forty years, until retirement age.
[SPOILER] The source of his inspiration has always been the Saratov region, favorite places - the neighborhood, and selected areas of Saratov region. In the early years it was the Creek, Zaymische (formerly known as floodplain Guselki). Bank of the Volga near Saratov, Razboyschina, Polivanovka where loved writing the older generation artists, teachers.
In the 30s BV Milovidov "mastered" the 9 th and 10 th Summer stop. Kumysnuyu Meadow, Little and Big Polivanovki, Balanda, Scherbakovka, the Turks (1940).
A trip to Scherbakovka held in 1938, along with I.N Shcheglov (5) at the invitation of his wife JJ Weber, Leontine Ivanovna. The result of years of work were landscapes "Scherbakovka River," "Compound" (courtyard of the house of JJ Weber). "Rock of Stepan Razin" painting "Malt ripe." During the war years the artists revealed another remarkable place - Green Island, surrendered to the townspeople for vegetable gardens, where they have identified a piece of land.
Floodplain oak forests with an abundance of lilies of the valley, "the oak's mane," meadows rich with herbs, inland lakes and streams with clear water, ancient black poplars along the coast, the Volga space. All this gave rise to a lot of stories to be creative. After returning from the front after being wounded, he wrote then, "Beach Green Island", "black poplars on the banks of Green Island." "Priming the Green Meadow Island", "Crystal Lake", "The gardens at the Green Island" and other landscapes.
For several years, Boris traveled to Ust-Kurdyum lived with fishermen fishing team, and participated with them in fishing nets, collecting material for the film "Fishers", color sketch which was exhibited at the show, but his plan did not materialize. In Ust-Kurdyumskim sketches written by painting "Fishing camp on the Volga", presented from Saratov to the 250th anniversary of Leningrad.
Since the mid 60's creative base was giving the Union of Artists in the police officer, where he wrote many sketches, landscapes, born on this stuff pictures "Fields of Saratov." "Field of gold." "Steppe," "Dawn of the evening." "Love Russia."
Leaving school with students of the Art in the open air, he also enjoyed the opportunity to work, so of his landscapes there is a neighborhood of Bald Mountain and Vyazovka.
Outside of the Saratov land he traveled a little. Twice visited the Black Sea, Lazarev, where he brought a lot of marine landscapes painted in oil and gouache, there are species of coastal mountains and canyons.
In the early 60 hgodov I worked in Novosibirsk, where he came to visit me. Not parting, as usual, with a painter's case, he found interesting stories for themselves. The result was a series of visits of urban landscapes, still life of globe-Asian "Siberian" lights, "" Lady's shoes, "Landscape" Siberian birch. "And in painting, and in the chart BV Milovidova favorite genre - landscape, and favorite subjects - a few.
Volga inspired artist from an early age throughout life, as evidenced by the plots of his sketches and paintings: "Sails on the Volga," Etude, "On the Volga" (1925), "Steamers", "low-level wind" (1926, 1934, 1937 . 1970). "Morning on the Volga (1934)," Volga. Grey Day "(1937)," Volga Boat "(1940)." Raft "(1950)," The fishing camp on the Volga, "and many others.
He wrote to the Volga and in the early morning, at sunrise, and in the noonday heat, when in calm weather it is a mirror smooth, quiet, with the reflection of clouds floating in the sky, and light wind, when the entire surface of her shining and sparkling, dazzling the eye, and at sunset, the water comes over all sorts of colors. He liked the late summer twilight, moonrise, and the charming beauty of the moonlit night. No less was his favorite topic of grain fields, verdant and ripening grain - rye, wheat, oat, millet fields. Having survived, along with the entire country many difficult periods, he knew the price of bread as a source of life, seeing the mast of bread in a peasant rejoiced the coming harvest and with special reverence to the ear of corn, a few pieces which always had on his desk. About passion for writing grain fields by the following work: "Threshing" (1927), "Rye in the sacrum" ("Rye in the crosses," 1934), "The floor. (1934)." Rye. (1937), "Harvest.

Saratov steppe region - the birthplace of Boris Vasilievich, which he infinitely loved and defended as a veteran of World War II. He had to fight on the Central Front, under the Vyazma among coniferous forests. He recalls how, after returning wounded from the hospital to home: on the way to Saratov on him suddenly smelled the air of the steppe - polynka smell, bitter wormwood, yarrow, dry grass. He at once remembered him, was worried, felt the proximity of the house (6).
Naturally, the expression of his feelings and moods are landscapes of the steppe: sketches and paintings. These are the "Dali" (1937), "The Steppe" (1967. 100x145). "Autumn Grass" (1970). "Forbs. (1970). 'Love Russia' (1971)," Delphinium blooms, (1973), "Blue Steppe" (1973). Palette of colors on canvas BV Milovidova diverse. He sought to natural color reproduction of different states of nature depending on time of year and day. His attention was attracted and quiet colors of early spring, and the pearly iridescence of gray days and bright fall colors, and glowing sunsets, and the dark storm clouds. his brush, he stopped a lot of beautiful moments, "the spring.

By manufacturing the topic BV Milovidov rarely addressed. Nevertheless, the first big picture of him - "Pioneers-model aircraft" (1934). The idea was born as a result of her frequent visits to the spa pioneer camp at the 11th Summer stop. Our family spent the summer, renting a room from the owners of cottages, located nearby, at the 10th Summer stop in the midst of the forest. The camp went on a visit to the pioneer camp fires that are lit only after nightfall. Big fire in a clearing highlights belostvolnye birch forest in the night. Around the fire sat the children, sang, played a concert. His father watched and made drawings. On his return to Saratov, he became focused work on the subject born, went to draw the circle of the pioneers in the Pioneer model aircraft.
Interest in the pioneers, the pioneer category is preserved. He was happy to participate in the painting of the future building of the Palace of Pioneers, made friends in the last years of his life with the children's ensemble of harmonics, "Bell" and its leader SA Popov made a lot of Members of the circle drawings, painted a portrait of one of them. who later became a helicopter and a member of the Afghan war. All the figures given by me to the Palace of Youth Creativity, the museum group "Bell."

"Soon the bridge will connect," "Bird on the pontoons are transported," "Everyday work of the Volga," "building site Mostostroy" and other work on the construction was at times difficult. Spans of the bridge, still did not have fences, blown by the wind. With a strong wind had to lie down on concrete, cover the paper, so as not to carried away.
Along with teaching, classes in painting and drawing, his father worked in the field of book graphics. From 1928 collaborated with the Saratov Publishers (7), as well as some others.

They carried posters reading: "Every time a sheaf tucked away. - A bomb in the Fascist trench" (1941, text Namestnikova GN), "fascism - it is the enslavement of peoples" (1941), "All power to protect the people velikiheavoevany" (1942) "defend the fatherland is the sacred duty" (1943).

So far they have survived, continuing to remain unique. In the late 60s he made murals in the room of the Museum of rare books in the Research Library of the University.
